No. 2:17-cv-0103-EFB P

Petitioner,
v.

ORDER

UNKNOWN,
Respondent.

16

Petitioner is a county inmate without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

17

28 U.S.C. § 2254. He is incarcerated in Los Angeles County and was convicted in Los Angeles

18

County. Los Angeles County is in an area embraced by the United States District Court for the

19

Central District of California.

20

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of

21

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state

22

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined

23

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.

24

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is

25

transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 28 U.S.C.

26

§ 2241(d); 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

DATED: January 23, 2017.
