UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL O BULLOCK, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

CONNIE GIPSON, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:13-cv-2634 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. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. 

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

convicted have jurisdiction, 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 Los Angeles County. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); see also Braden, 410 U.S. at 499 

n.15.
