Petitioner,

 v.

KEN CLARK,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-4296 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge a

conviction obtained in the Superior Court in and for Solano County. Solano County is in the

venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is

incarcerated at Corcoran State Prison, which also is in the Eastern District. 

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district

of conviction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). In this case they are the same, the Eastern District. 

Because venue is not proper here, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District

Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-

3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 17, 2008.
