seeks an order to obtain counsel to acquire DNA evidence to help prove his innocence in a
15
criminal case. Plaintiff is incarcerated in Stockton, CA which is located within the venue of
16
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, where the respondent
17
in this case resides. His underlying conviction occurred in Sacramento County which also
