Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In his application, petitioner challenges a conviction issued by the Fresno County Superior Court. Fresno County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).
