No. C 07-5344 JSW (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner is a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Mule Creek State Prison,

located in Ione, California, within the venue of the United States District Court for the

Eastern District of California. On October 19, 2007, Petitioner filed this petition

regarding the denial of parole. 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. However, 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(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875

F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989).

Petitioner’s claims are directed to the execution of sentence, in that they involve a

parole proceeding. Therefore, this Court will transfer this action to the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED in

the interest of justice, and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), that this action be

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California. The Clerk of the Court shall transfer this matter forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
