United States District Court For the Northern District of California 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ORDER OF TRANSFER v. 8 9 No. C 12-6279 SBA (PR) / Petitioner, a state prisoner incarcerated at the California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo, California, files a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He also moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Federal statute allows "the Supreme Court, any justice thereof, the district courts and any circuit judge" to grant writs of habeas corpus "within their respective jurisdictions." 28 U.S.C. § 2241(a). A federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus made by a person in custody under the judgment and sentence of a state court is properly filed in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. Id. § 2241(d). Where a case is filed in the wrong venue, the district court has the discretion to transfer it to the proper federal court "in the interest of justice." See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). Here, Petitioner challenges a conviction and sentence incurred in the Fairfield Superior Court, which is in the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84. Accordingly, that is the proper venue for this action. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, the Clerk of the Court is ordered to TRANSFER this action forthwith to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. All remaining motions are TERMINATED on this Court's docket as no longer pending in this district. IT IS SO ORDERED.
