ROBERT J. RAMIREZ, K03385, Petitioner, v. GIGI MATTESON, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER OF TRANSFER
SALLIE KIM UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner, a state prisoner incarcerated at California State Prison, Solano (SOL) in Solano County, seeks federal habeas review of the execution of a sentence imposed by Solano County Superior Court. Petitioner specifically claims that he was denied due process in connection with a prison disciplinary hearing at SOL.
Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of conviction or the district of confinement. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Here, the district of conviction and the district of confinement is Solano County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b).
Because Solano County lies in the Eastern District of California, the court ORDERS that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas Local Rule 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice, this petition be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
