Connor Albert Davis, an inmate at the Colusa County Jail, has filed a petition for writ of
habeas corpus to challenge his conviction from the Colusa County Superior Court or the
execution of his sentence in the Colusa County Jail. Colusa County is within the venue of the
Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of
confinement or the district of conviction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). A petition challenging a
conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction and a petition
challenging the execution of the sentence is preferably heard in the district of confinement. See
N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3; Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Because
the conviction occurred and the petitioner is confined in the Eastern District of California,
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this
action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
