8 Plaintiff, ORDER OF TRANSFER v. 9

10 LONG BEACH COURT, Defendant. 11

12 Petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding without an attorney, filed this petition for a 13 writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petition challenges the validity of Petitioner’s 14 conviction in state court in Long Beach, California. (ECF No. 1 at 2-4.) 15 A petition for a writ of habeas corpus made by a person in custody under the judgment 16 and sentence of a state court of a state which contains two or more federal judicial districts may be 17 filed in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 18 Each of such districts shall have concurrent jurisdiction to entertain the petition; however, the 19 district court for the district where the petition is filed may transfer the petition to the other district 20 in the furtherance of justice. See id. Federal courts in California traditionally have chosen to hear 21 petitions challenging a conviction or sentence in the district of conviction. See Dannenberg v. 22 Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 768 (N.D. Cal. 1993); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 23 1968); see also N.D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b) (mandating transfer to the district of conviction). 24 // 25 //
