UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL GLENN BRAXTON,

Petitioner,

 v.

KATHY PROSPER, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-1742 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

conviction obtained in Solano County. Solano County is in the venue of the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is incarcerated at the California

Correctional Center in Susanville, which also is in the Eastern District. 

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, 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).

 Because petitioner was convicted in Solano 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). Petitioner may disregard the clerk’s notice regarding the filing

fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 11, 2008.
