Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas
17
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not paid the filing fee or filed a request to

proceed in forma pauperis.

21
was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973),
22
any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are
23
more readily available in Orange County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).

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.
