Petitioner, 

v. 

RANDY GROUNDS, 

Respondent. 

Case No. 15-cv-4730-TEH 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. He 

seeks review of a prison disciplinary finding that resulted in 

the loss of time credits. The disciplinary finding appears to 

have occurred when Petitioner was incarcerated in this district. 

However, Petitioner is now at Corcoran Prison which is located in 

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, the district of confinement is the preferable forum to 

review the execution of a sentence, such as the loss of time 

credits. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 

249 (9th Cir. 1989). Because Petitioner is now confined in the 

Eastern District of California and challenging the execution of 

his sentence, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 

2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this action is 

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern
