IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISIDRO HERNANDEZ,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2041 LKK DAD P

vs.

DERELL ADAMS, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a prisoner currently confined at Corcoran State Prison and proceeding

pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together

with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks a judgement of conviction entered by the Santa Clara

County Superior Court. While both the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for

the Eastern District of California and the United States District Court for the Northern District of

California, the district where petitioner was convicted, have jurisdiction over this action, see

Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence

necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are more readily available in Santa Clara

County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
