No. 2:17-cv-01016 GGH

ORDER

PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA,
Respondent.

17

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas

18

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The court

19

has not ruled on that application.
Petitioner is currently confined in the Susanville, California, a state prison which is within

20
21

the Eastern District of California, but his conviction emanated from a judgment entered in the

22

Superior Court for Merced County. Therefore, the proper venue for the case is in the Fresno

23

division of this court where the records regarding petitioner’s conviction, those related to his

24

appeal to the Fifth District Court of Appeal are readily available.
