No. 2:17-cv-2373 KJN P
ORDER
ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN,
15
Respondent.
16
17
Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a habeas corpus
18
petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner is incarcerated at Atwater U.S. Penitentiary
19
located in Atwater, California.
20
Petitioner alleges that he is challenging constitutional violations committed by prison
21
officials in executing his sentence. However, petitioner’s claims for relief all challenge
22
conditions of confinement at Atwater U.S. Penitentiary. In claim one, petitioner alleges that
23
prison officials violated his right to access the courts by failing to process his administrative
24
grievances. In claim two, petitioner alleges that prison officials violated his rights by restricting
25
his “general corresponding.” In claim three, petitioner alleges that prison officials violated his
26
rights by restricting his incoming mail. Finally, in claim four, petitioner alleges that prison
27
officials violated his rights by restricting him from receiving books from publishers, books stores
28
and book clubs.

Because petitioner challenges the conditions of his confinement, the undersigned
2
construes this action as a Bivens action. See Bivenv. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal
3
Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). The alleged violations took place in Merced County,
4
which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
5
California. See Local Rule 120(d).
6
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper
7
division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the
8
court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.
