No. C 15-1459 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Gregory Garcia, an inmate at Pelican Bay State Prison, filed this pro se action for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his 2012 conviction from the Madera

County Superior Court. His county of incarceration (i.e., Del Norte County) is located within the

venue of the Northern District of California and his county of conviction (i.e., Madera County) is

located within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in

either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a

petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of

conviction. See N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in the Eastern

District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the

interest of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern
