ORDER OF TRANSFER
15
16
Petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
17
U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner seeks habeas relief from his underlying criminal sentence from the
18
Superior Court of Sacramento County, which lies in the Eastern District of California. Venue for
19
a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28
20
U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction or sentence are preferably heard
21
in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266
22
(N.D. Cal. 1968). Here, the Eastern District of California is the the district of conviction.
23
Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern
24
District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The Clerk shall transfer the entire file to the
25
Eastern District of California.
26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
