UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAUL GARCIA ESCOBEDO, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-1660 CMK 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. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Imperial County Superior Court. While 

both this court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted 

have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all 

witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are more readily 

available in Imperial County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. This matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of 

California. 

Dated: December 14, 2015
