Opinion


ERIC D. RICE, Petitioner, v. CDCR, Respondent. No. 2:15-cv-0431 CKD P United States District Court, E.D. California. March 30, 2015

          ORDER

          CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

         Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The application attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles Superior Court. While both the district court within the district of confinement and conviction have jurisdiction over a § 2254 petition, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of the petition are more readily available in Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).

         Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
