UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VINCENT JOHN BAZEMORE, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

RAFAEL ZUNIGA, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2974 AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Northern District of Texas. While both 

this court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted have 

jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484, 494-500 & 

499 n.15 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s 

application are likely to be more readily available in the Northern District of Texas. See Braden, 

410 U.S. at 493-94. 

 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. This court has not ruled on petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis; and
