UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD J. PEEL,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN JUSINO,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-cv-0281 DB P

ORDER

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner is presently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Victorville, in 

San Bernardino County. He is serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the United States 

District Court, Eastern District of California. 

The general rule with regard to habeas applications is that both the United States District 

Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where petitioner is 

incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 

U.S. 484 (1973). In the instant case, the claims in the petition involve petitioner’s incarceration 

in an area covered by the District Court for the Central District of California.
