No. C 15-3280 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Jesus Andres Lopez, an inmate at the Sierra Conservation Camp in Jamestown, California, filed

this pro se action for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his 2012

conviction and sentence from the Colusa County Superior Court. He consented to proceed before a

magistrate judge. ECF No. 6. Mr. Lopez’s county of incarceration (i.e., Tuolumne County) and his

county of conviction (i.e., Colusa County) are located within the venue of the Eastern District of

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

conviction, with the preferable district being the district of conviction for a petition challenging a

conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction

occurred in the Eastern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and Habeas Local

Rule 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 18, 2015
