UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALDRIN JESUS TREJO,

Petitioner,

 v.

DERRAL G. ADAMS, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-5074 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge a

conviction obtained in the Superior Court in and for Orange County. Orange County is in

the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Petitioner

is incarcerated at Corcoran State Prison, which is in the Eastern District. 

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. Because petitions challenging a

conviction are preferably heard in the district of conviction, Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v.

Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968), and petitioner was convicted in Orange

County, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central 

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 9, 2007.
