DARREL L. MYERS, Petitioner, vs. RICH SUBIA, Warder, et al, Respondent.

) No. C 08-0758 TEH (PR) ) ) ) ) TRANSFER ORDER ) ) (Docket nos. 2, 3) ) ) )

Petitioner, a prisoner of the State of California currently incarcerated at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking review of his criminal conviction from Yolo County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 USC § 84(b). Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of conviction or the district of confinement, see id § 2241(d). However, federal courts in California traditionally have chosen to hear petitions challenging a conviction or sentence in the district of conviction. See Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767 (N.D. Cal. 1993); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968). Therefore, the Court ORDERS that pursuant to 28 USC § 1404(a) and Habeas LR 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, the Clerk of the Court shall TRANSFER this matter to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. In light of the transfer, this Court will not resolve Petitioner's pending motions (docket nos. 2, 3). SO ORDERED. DATED: 02/06/08 _______________________ THELTON E. HENDERSON United States District Judge
