No. C 14-5208 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Petitioner, an inmate at the California State Prison in Lancaster, 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. He is confined in Los Angeles County, within the venue of the Central

District of California. His conviction occurred in Sacramento County, 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's conviction occurred within 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: December 2, 2014
