JOSE CASILLAS MALANCHE,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. FRAUENHEIM,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01327-JSC 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. No. 2)

In this habeas case, Petitioner seeks to challenge a conviction and sentence incurred in the 

Superior Court of Fresno County. Petitioner is incarcerated at Pleasant Valley State Prison, which 

is also in Fresno County. Fresno County is in the venue of the United States District Court for the 

Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84. 

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

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction are preferably heard 

in the district of conviction. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. 

Cal. 1968). Because petitioner was convicted in Fresno County, 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). The Court defers to the Eastern District for ruling on the motion for leave 

to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2). 

The Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 3, 2016
