No. 2:16-cv-1618 GGH P

v.

ORDER

JOEL MARTINEZ, Warden, et al.,

15

Respondents.

16
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas

17
18

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
Petitioner is incarcerated in Tuolumne County which is in the Fresno Division of this

19
20

district, and his application attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles County Superior

21

Court.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of

22
23

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state

24

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined

25

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
