For the Northern District of California

Respondent.
United States District Court

13
Mark Barbosa-Candalent has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge his
14
2001 conviction in El Dorado County Superior Court. El Dorado County lies within the venue
15
of the Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of
16
confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a petition challenging
17
a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction. See
18
Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in the Eastern District of California,
19
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this
20
action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
21
California. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
22
IT IS SO ORDERED.
