UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY BRYAN BROOKS,

Petitioner,

 v.

ROBERT HOREL,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 06-6347 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Timothy Bryan Brooks has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge his 2002

conviction in Sacramento County Superior Court. Sacramento County lies within the venue of

the Eastern District of California. Brooks is incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison in Del

Norte County, which lies within the venue of the Northern 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, a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is

preferably heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the

conviction occurred in the Eastern District of California, 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.

DATED: November 20, 2006
