On August 26, 2014, Duane Lee Stowers, a California inmate, filed a pro se federal
18
petition for writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Stowers seeks relief from a
19
criminal conviction in San Bernardino, California. San Bernardino lies in the Central District of
20
California. Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district
21
of conviction;1 however, petitions challenging a conviction or sentence are preferably heard in
22
the district of conviction.2 Here, the Central District of California is the district of conviction.
23
Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the Central District of California.3 The clerk shall
24
terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Central District of California.
