Petitioner has paid the $5.00 filing fee. Courts in the district of conviction and in the district of confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by a state prisoner. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). In the present case, petitioner is confined in the Fenner Canyon Conservation Camp in Los Angeles County. Petitioner is attacking a judgment of conviction entered in the San Bernardino County Superior Court on October 25, 2004. The judicial district for the Central District of California includes both Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c). Because petitioner was not convicted in the Eastern District of California and is not confined in the Eastern District of California, this court cannot entertain his habeas petition. 1
