No. CIV S-11-2951 GGH P
vs.
GARY SWARTHOUT,
Respondent.

ORDER
/
15
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of
16
17
habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma
18
pauperis.
The application attacks a conviction issued by the San Diego County Superior
19
20
Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner
21
was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973),
22
any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are
23
more readily available in San Diego County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
24
Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
25
1. This court has not ruled on petitioner’s application to proceed in forma
26
pauperis; and
1
2. This matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern
1
2
District of California.
