UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHONG Q. NGUYEN,

Petitioner,

v.

DAVID LONG,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-cv-2095 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 City Correctional Facility in Kern 

County. He is serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Santa Clara 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 Northern District of California.
