IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKEY LOUIS ALFORD,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1328 GEB KJM P

vs.

SALINAS VALLEY STATE PRISON, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner is incarcerated in Salinas Valley State Prison and was convicted in

Monterey County. Both Salinas Valley State Prison and Monterey County are in an area

embraced by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. 

As provided by 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.
