No. C 14-5208 LB
Respondent.
_____________________________________/
Petitioner, an inmate at the California State Prison in Lancaster, filed this pro se action for a writ
of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his conviction from the Sacramento
County Superior Court. He is confined in Los Angeles County, within the venue of the Central
District of California. His conviction occurred in Sacramento County, within the venue of the
Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement
or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), although a petition challenging a conviction or the
sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction. See N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 22543(b). Because petitioner's conviction occurred within the Eastern District of California, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, this action is
TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk
shall transfer this matter forthwith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 2, 2014
