This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pro se by a state prisoner. He seeks review
15
of a prison disciplinary finding that resulted in the loss of time credits. The disciplinary finding
16
occurred in this district. However, plaintiff is currently housed at California Health Care Facility-
17
Stockton, which is in the Eastern District of California.
18
Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement or the district of
19
conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the district of confinement is the preferable forum to
20
review the execution of a sentence. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249
21
(9th Cir. 1989). Because petitioner’s challenge goes to the execution of his sentence, this petition
22
is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28
23
U.S.C. § 1404(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b).
