IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Petitioner, No. CIV S 07-2425 FCD GGH P

vs.

JOHN DOVEY, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner 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. This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis.

is serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where

petitioner is incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit

Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973). In the instant case, the petitioner's conviction occurred in an area

covered by the District Court for the Central District of California. Accordingly, in the

furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
