ORDER OF TRANSFER

20
Petitioner seeks federal habeas review of a conviction from Los Angeles County
21
Superior Court, which lies in the Central District of California, Western Division. See
22
28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(2). Petitioner is incarcerated at the California Substance Abuse
23
Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran, County of Kings, which lies in the
24
Eastern District of California. See id. § 84(b).
25
Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement or the
26
district of conviction, see id. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction
27
preferably are heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a);
28
Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767 (N.D. Cal. 1993).
1
Because the County of Los Angeles lies in the Central District of California,
2
Western Division, the court orders that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas
3
Local Rule 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, this petition be transferred to the
4
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division.
5
The clerk shall transfer this matter and terminate all pending motions as moot.
