ADAM SALAS RAMIREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01128-JSC 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus challenging the denial of parole. He is incarcerated at the California Medical Facility 

(“CMF”) in Vacaville, California.

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus made by a person in custody under the judgment and 

sentence of a state court of a state which contains two or more federal judicial districts may be 

filed in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

Each of such districts shall have concurrent jurisdiction to entertain the petition; however, the 

district court for the district where the petition is filed may transfer the petition to the other district 

in the furtherance of justice. See id. If the petition is directed to the manner in which a sentence is 

being executed, e.g., if it involves parole or time credits claims, the district of confinement is the 

preferable forum. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b)(2); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 

1989).

United States District Court

Northern District of California

As the instant petition challenges the denial of parole, the district in which Petitioner is 

confined is the preferable venue. Vacaville, where Petitioner is confined, lies within the venue of 

the Eastern District of California. 28 U.S.C. § 84. Accordingly, in the interests of justice, this 

case is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of California. 

The Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
