CHARLES KY ANDERSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1542 DFL KJM P

vs.

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Mendocino County Superior

Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner

was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973),

any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are

more readily available in Mendocino County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
