Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 2255', '§ 2241', '§ 2255', '§ 2255', '§ 2255', '§ 2255', '§ 2255']

Collateral challenges to federal convictions or sentences generally must be brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Hernandez v. Campbell, 204 F.3d 861, 864 (9th Cir. 2000). Because nothing before the court suggests any reason for departure from this rule, the court will construe petitioner's application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 as a motion attacking his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. A § 2255 motion must be brought in the court where the sentence was imposed. 28 U.S.C. § 2255(a). Because it not clear where petitioner was sentenced, the court will recommend that this action be dismissed without prejudice to petitioner filing a § 2255 motion in the district court where he was convicted and sentenced.
IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice to petitioner filing a motion brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in the federal judicial district where he was convicted.
