No. C 07-5780 JSW (PR) 

TRANSFER ORDER

Petitioner, a prisoner incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano,

California, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking review of his criminal

conviction from San Joaquin County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District

of California. See 28 USC § 84(b). Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the

district of conviction or the district of confinement, see id § 2241(d). However, federal

courts in California traditionally have chosen to hear petitions challenging a conviction

or sentence in the district of conviction. See Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767

(N.D. Cal. 1993); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968). 

Therefore, the Court ORDERS that pursuant to 28 USC § 1404(a) and Habeas LR

2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, the Clerk of the Court shall TRANSFER this

matter to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 26, 2007 _______________________
