Respondent.

Petitioner is a county inmate without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

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

23

to the proper division. See E.D. Cal., Local Rule 120(f).

24

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

25

1. This action is transferred to the district court in Fresno.
