UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARSHALL LEE FIELD, JR.,

Petitioner,

v.

D. K. SISTO, warden,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 06-5671 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge the denial of parole

suitability. Petitioner is incarcerated, and had his parole suitability hearing, at the California

Medical Facility at Vacaville, in Solano County. Solano County is 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, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the district of

confinement is the preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence, such as a parole

denial claim. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989).

Because petitioner is confined in the Eastern District of California and challenging the execution

of his sentence, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests

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.
