CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

19

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges an adverse prison disciplinary

20

decision. Consequently, the instant petition is one for review of the execution of a sentence

21

imposed by a California state court. As a general rule, “[t]he proper forum to challenge the

22

execution of a sentence is the district where the prisoner is confined.” Dunne v. Henman, 875

23

F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Petitioner is incarcerated in Los Angeles County, which is located

24

within the Central District of California. Because this district is not the proper venue, the action

25

will be transferred.
