ORDER OF TRANSFER
16
17
Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
18
under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a disciplinary hearing resulting in the forfeiture
19
of ninety days credit.
20
Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the
21
district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). If the petition is directed to the manner
22
in which a sentence is being executed, e.g., if it involves parole or time credits
23
claims, the district of confinement is the preferable forum. See Habeas L.R. 2254-
24
3(b)(2); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). The petition
25
indicates that Petitioner is confined at the California State Prison, Sacramento which
26
lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 84(c).

Accordingly, the above-titled action is hereby TRANSFERRED to the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. §§
