IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARLEF DAI WEAVER,

Petitioner, 

 v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 13-1054 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. 4)

In this habeas case petitioner seeks to challenge a conviction and sentence incurred in

the Superior Court of Siskiyou County. Siskiyou County is in the venue of the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

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 Eastern District, 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). Ruling on the request to proceed in forma pauperis

will be deferred to the Eastern District.

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 1, 2013. WILLIAM ALSUP
