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, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis.
19 The application attacks a conviction issued by the Santa Clara County Superior Court.
20 While both this court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was
21 convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any
22 and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are more
23 readily available in Santa Clara County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
