UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NELSON T. BUTLER,

Petitioner,

v.

JOHN MARSHALL, warden,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 06-7183 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge the denial of parole

suitability. Petitioner is incarcerated, and apparently had his parole suitability hearing, at the

California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo County. San Luis Obispo County is within the

venue of the Central 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, the district

of confinement is the preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence, such as a parole

denial claim. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989).

Because petitioner is confined in the Central District of California and challenging the execution

of his sentence, 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 Central

District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
