This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner

incarcerated in this district.

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of
19
conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Because petitions challenging a conviction are preferably heard

21
Cal. 1968), and petitioner was convicted in the Eastern District, this case is TRANSFERRED to
22
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a);
23
Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). All pending motions are vacated and will be addressed in the Eastern
