ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

 

Respondents. 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 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 Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
