UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CHRISTOPHER LANE WRIGHT, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

ROBERT W. FOX, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-2444 GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the San Diego County Superior Court. 

While both this court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was 

convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any 

and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are more 

readily available in San Diego County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 

transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. 

Dated: October 20, 2016
