No. 2:17-cv-2322 AC P

v.
MATEVOUSIAN,

15

ORDER

Defendant.

16
Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has initiated the instant action. He has not

17
18

paid the filing fee or submitted a request to proceed in forma pauperis.
Petitioner seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1. However, his allegations

19
20

relate to his conditions of confinement and appear to be more properly brought as a civil rights

21

action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Id. In his complaint, petitioner alleges deliberate

22

indifference to his medical needs. Id. The alleged violations took place in Merced County, which

23

is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

24

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

25
26

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

27

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