United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

Respondent.

This is a federal habeas corpus action filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 by a pro se

15

prisoner. Petitioner challenges the constitutional validity of the convictions he suffered in the

16

Orange County Superior Court. Orange County lies in the venue of the Central District of

17

California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement or the

18

district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a petition challenging a conviction or

19

the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R.

20

2254-3(b). Because petitioner suffered his convictions in the Central District, this action is

21

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of California

22

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice.

23

The Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
