UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSEPH CHRISTO GOMEZ, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:17-cv-0103-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a county inmate without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. He is incarcerated in Los Angeles County and was convicted in Los Angeles 

County. Los Angeles County is in an area embraced by the United States District Court for the 

Central District of California. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of 

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state 

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined 

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application. 

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 

transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2241(d); 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

DATED: January 23, 2017.
