UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRANDON ALEXANDER FAVOR,

Petitioner,

v.

PAT L. VASQUEZ,

Respondent.

No. 2:17-cv-0124 CKD P

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. The application attacks a conviction issued by the Superior 

Court of California, Los Angeles County. While both this court and the United States District 

Court in the district where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial 

Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the 

resolution of petitioner’s application are more readily available in Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 

n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
