MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Griffin v. Foulk, No. 2:14-CV-00837 TLN AC P (E.D. Cal. 2014):

debate within the state court system depending on the type of claim presented. Id. (establishing the proper venue for processing state habeas corpus petitions challenging parole denials); see also Cal. Rules of Court, rule 4.552 (providing for the transfer of habeas corpus petitions to the proper superior court to hear the petition). "As a general rule the court wherein the petition is presented must, if the petitioner has otherwise complied with pertinent rules, file the petition and determine whether it states a prima facie case for relief." Griggs v. Superior Court, 16 Cal.3d 341, 347 (1976). Additionally, "[i]f the challenge is to conditions of the inmate's confinement, then the petition should be transferred to the superior court of the county wherein the inmate is confined if that court is a different court from the court wherein the petition was filed." Id.
