ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28
16
17
No. 2:13-cv-1280 EFB P
U.S.C. § 2254. However, petitioner has commenced this action in the wrong district.
18
Petitioner was convicted in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, but is confined at
19
CSP Solano. Although this court and the United States District Court in the district where
20
petitioner was convicted both have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410
21
U.S. 484, 499-500 (1973), witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s
22
application are more readily available in the county of conviction, id. at 499 n. 15; 28 U.S.C.
23
§ 2241(d). Therefore, the court will transfer this action to the United States District Court for the
24
Central District of California. 28 U.S.C. §§ 84(c); 1404(a).
