JAMES E. RASBERRY,

Petitioner,

v.

J. SOTO,

Respondent.

Case No. 15-cv-03739-JD 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge a 

conviction obtained in the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. San Bernardino County is in 

the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Petitioner is 

incarcerated at California State Prison-Lancaster, which is also in the Central District. 

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of 

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. Because 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), and petitioner was convicted in San Bernardino 

County, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District 

of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 29, 2015
