ORDER OF TRANSFER

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

*E-Filed 4/2/10*

 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

CRAIG ALLEN WARD,

Petitioner,

v.

M.C. EVANS, Warden, 

Respondent. /

No. C 10-0662 RS (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner Craig Allen Ward has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to

challenge his conviction in the Kern County Superior Court. Kern County is in 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 parole denial 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.
