ORDER
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a letter stating his request to proceed in forma pauperis is pending. 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 3-120(d).
As provided by Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action that has not been commenced in the proper division of a court may, on the court's own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California sitting in Fresno; and
2. All future filings shall reference the new Fresno case number assigned and shall be filed at:
United States District Court Eastern District of California 2500 Tulare Street Fresno, CA 93721
