UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KIRK PATRICK BROWN, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

RON DAVIS, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-2588 AC 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, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. This 

court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

 Petitioner is presently incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County. He is 

serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Sacramento 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 parole hearing occurred at San Quentin State Prison in 

an area covered by the District Court for the Northern District of California.
