ORDER OF TRANSFER
Petitioner seeks federal habeas review of a conviction from Sacramento County
12
Superior Court, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28
13
U.S.C. § 84(b). Petitioner is incarcerated at California State Prison, Los Angeles
14
County, which lies within the venue of the Central District of California, Western
15
Division. See id. § 84(c)(2).
16
Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement or the
17
district of conviction, see id. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction
18
preferably are heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a);
19
Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767 (N.D. Cal. 1993).
20
Because Sacramento County lies in the Eastern District of California, the court
21
ORDERS that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas Local Rule 2254-3(b), and in
22
the interest of justice, this petition be TRANSFERRED to the United States District
23
Court for the Central District of California.
24
The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
25
SO ORDERED.
