United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHILIP ROBERT CORRAL,

Plaintiff,

v.

X. CANO,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-00154-EMC 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge his conviction and 

sentence from the San Joaquin County Superior Court. San Joaquin County lies within the venue 

of the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is confined at the California State Prison in Los 

Angeles County, within the venue of the Central 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), although a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard 

in the district of conviction. See N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). The preferred venue is the 

Eastern District of California because Petitioner was convicted and the sentence was imposed in 

that district. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(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.

Dated: January 21, 2016
