 /

“letter,” in which he claims that he has been detained without a hearing in the Santa Clara

contends, inter alia, that he should be part of the Valdivia class. Appended to petitioner’s letter is

a letter from class counsel in Valdivia informing petitioner that the assertion he is making is “an

ongoing dispute” in Valdivia and that it is “unlikely” petitioner will be able to obtain relief

through Valdivia “at this time.” Valdivia counsel did represent that they would include the

information petitioner had provided to them in a complaint to the Board of Parole Hearings, but

it does not appear that petitioner has a claim cognizable under Valdivia at this time.

2

District Court for the Northern of California. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), jurisdiction over

this action lies, if at all, in that court. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern

District of California. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of petitioner’s letter and a

copy of this order to Rosen, Bien & Asaro, Attorneys at Law, Eighth Floor, 155 Montgomery

Street, San Francisco, California 94104.

DATED: June 8, 2006.
