UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

EDWARD JONES

Petitioner,

 vs.

EDMUND BROWN,

Respondent. /

No. C 14-4790 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. He states he was convicted in

Long Beach Superior Court which is located in Central District of California. He is currently

incarcerated in Vacaville, CA in the Eastern District of California. In this petition, he argues

that he is entitled to a new parole suitability hearing in light of a recent order in Brown v.

Plata, ––– U.S. ––––, 131 S.Ct. 1910 (2011).

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. The district of confinement is the

preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v.

Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Because petitioner's challenge appears to go

to the execution of his sentence, this petition is transferred to the United States District

Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-

3(b).

 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 18, 2014.
