GERALD H. STOLP,

Petitioner,

v.

KIM HOLLAND,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-01265-JD 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Re: Dkt. Nos. 2, 3

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

conviction obtained in Calaveras County California. Calaveras County is in the venue of the 

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

Tehachapi, CA, which is located in the Central District of California. 

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

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. Because 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), and petitioner was convicted in Calaveras 

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).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
