UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROYCE SUNG KWARK,

Petitioner,

v.

RON RACKLEY,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1085 CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, 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 Superior Court of California, County of 

Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 

2241(d).
