LACHANCE L. THOMAS, Petitioner, v. T. ALLEN, Respondent.
ORDER
DENNIS M. COTA UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petition challenges a conviction issued by the Fresno County Superior Court. Fresno County is part of the Fresno division of this Court. See Local Rule 120(b). Because the Sacramento division is not the proper division, this action will be transferred to the Fresno division.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to update the docket to reflect that T. Allen is the named Respondent.
2. This action, including Petitioner's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 4, and Petitioner's motion to stay, ECF No. 7, is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California sitting in Fresno.
