GABRIEL VERDUGO, Petitioner, v. CHRISTIAN PFEIFFER, Respondent.
ORDER
EDMUND F. BRENNAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Because petitioner challenges a conviction entered by the Kern County Superior Court, petitioner should have commenced this action in the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See E.D. Cal., Local Rule 120(d). When a civil action has not been commenced in the proper division of a court, the court may transfer the action to the proper division. See E.D. Cal., Local Rule 120(f).
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:
1. This action is transferred to the district court in Fresno.
2. The Clerk of Court shall assign a new case number.
3. All future filings shall bear the new case number and shall be filed at:
United States District Court
Eastern District of California
2500 Tulare Street
Fresno, CA 93721
