Patrick Richardson v. Monterey County Superior Court
Patrick Richardson v. Monterey County Superior Court
Opinion
MEMORANDUM ***
California state prisoner Patrick L. Richardson appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his petition for a writ of coram nobis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, United States v. *529 Monreal, 301 F.3d 1127, 1130 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Richardson’s petition challenging his California state conviction for murder because coram nobis relief is not available in federal court to attack a state court conviction. See id. at 1131 (“[W]rit of error coram nobis ... may only be brought in the sentencing court.”).
Richardson’s request that this court order the district court to.cease collecting payments from his prisoner trust account to satisfy the filing fee, set forth in his request for judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 6), is denied. To the extent that Richardson requests that this court take judicial notice of the district court’s orders in this proceeding (Docket Entry No. 6), that request is denied as unnecessary.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
