Petitioner has not paid the filing fee or filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis. The application attacks a judgement of conviction entered by the Riverside County Superior Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner's application are more readily available in Riverside County.
