UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN WAYNE BONILLA,

Petitioner,

v.

RON DAVIS, Warden,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-cv-2634 CKD P

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.

Petitioner is presently incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County. He is 

serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Alameda County Superior Court. 

The general rule with regard to habeas applications is that both the United States District 

Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where petitioner is 

incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 

484 (1973). In the instant case, both petitioner's conviction and his place of incarceration 

occurred in an area covered by the District Court for the Northern District of California.
