On June 2, 2006, he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus regarding his hearing before the Board of Parole Hearings in Santa Cruz County which resulted in a twelve month parole revocation sentence. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus made by a person in custody under the judgment and sentence of a state court of a state which contains two or more federal judicial districts may be filed in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Each of such districts shall have concurrent jurisdiction to entertain the petition; however, the district court for the district where the petition is filed may transfer the petition to the other district in the furtherance of justice. See id. However, if the petition is directed to the manner in which a sentence is being executed, e.g., if it involves parole or time credits claims, the district of confinement is the preferable forum. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). In this case, the petition is directed to the execution of sentence. Therefore, the vs. CDCR/BPH, et al, Respondents.
