VERDELL MARTIN, Petitioner, v. PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Respondent.


ORDER OF TRANSFER

WILLIAM H. ORRICK, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Petitioner Verdell Martin, who is housed at CSP-Solano in the Eastern District, alleges he is entitled to 866 days of time credits. (Pet., Dkt. No. 1 at 3.) Though he was convicted in San Francisco County here in the Northern District, a petition involving parole or time credit claims should be heard in the district of confinement, which here is the Eastern District. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404(a), 2241(d); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b)(2); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989).

Accordingly, this federal habeas action is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of California because that is the district of confinement. The Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
