18

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to proceed in forma

pauperis.
The application attacks a conviction issued by the United States District Court for

22

where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410

24

application are more readily available in Hawaii. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).

25

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. This court has not ruled on petitioner’s application to proceed in forma

pauperis; and
