UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MELVIN TAYLOR,

Petitioner,

v.

K. HOLLAND, Warden,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-2209 KJN P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Petitioner is presently incarcerated at California Correctional Institution in Kern County. 

He is serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. 

The general rule with regard to habeas applications is that both the United States District 

Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where petitioner is 

incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 

484 (1973). In the instant case, petitioner's conviction occurred in an area covered by the District 

Court for the Central District of California.
