ORDER 14 RALPH DIAZ, 15 Respondent. 16 17 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 18 corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He challenges prisoner disciplinary proceedings which 19 resulted in the loss of sentence credit. When a prisoner challenges the execution of his sentence, 20 as petitioner does here, the preferable venue is the court with jurisdiction over the place where the 21 prisoner is confined. See Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Petitioner is 22 incarcerated at California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo County. San Luis Obispo County 23 lies within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of 24 California. 25 ///// 26 ///// 27 ///// 28 ///// wOAOe 2 EUV EO ENE MMII DOI OP eer Aye eve 1 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 2 | transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 3 | Dated: August 19, 2020 f° Lf i, / 1 CAN fu fl. ay CAROLYN K.
