Prison. He has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254,

together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his application, petitioner challenges a

22

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

24

division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the

25

court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court. This court

26

will not rule on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
