UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

DANNY GREG UECKER,

Petitioner,

v.

JAMES A. YATES, 

Respondent. /

No. C 10-3074 RS (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner Danny Greg Uecker has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to

challenge his conviction and sentence from the Shasta County Superior Court. Shasta

County lies within the venue of the Eastern 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.
