No. 2:16-cv-1928 KJN P

v.

ORDER

COMPTON COURTS, et al.,

15

Respondents.

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

17
18

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner paid the filing fee.
Petitioner resides in and was convicted in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is in

19
20

an area embraced by the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of

21
22

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

23

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

24

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