UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD WAYNE WILLEY,

Petitioner,

v.

JEROME PRICE,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1873 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. 

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

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

convicted have jurisdiction, see 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 Alameda County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 

transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

Dated: September 14, 2015
