No. C 14-4506 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Petitioner, an inmate at Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County, California, filed this pro se

action for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his conviction from the

Sacramento County Superior Court. The county in which he is confined and the county in which he

was convicted are both located 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), although a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard

in the district of conviction. See N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because petitioner was

convicted in the Eastern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and Habeas L.R.

2254-3(b), and in the interest 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.

Dated: October 16, 2014
