No. C 08-3779 JSW (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

(Docket No. 2)

Plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of California currently incarcerated at

Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in North Tutwiler, Mississippi, has filed a

petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this Court. Petitioner is seeking review of his

criminal conviction from Kern County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern

District of California. See 28 USC § 84(b). Petitioner has neither paid the filing fee, nor

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

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

of confinement, see id § 2241(d). Federal courts in California traditionally have chosen

to hear petitions challenging a conviction or sentence in the district of conviction. See

Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767 (N.D. Cal. 1993); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F.

Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968). Therefore, the Court ORDERS that pursuant to 28

USC § 1404(a) and Habeas LR 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, the Clerk of the

Court shall TRANSFER this matter to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California forthwith. In light of the transfer, the Court will not decide

Petitioner’s pending motion for counsel (docket no. 2). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
