Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas
18
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his
19
application, petitioner challenges a guilty finding following a hearing on a rules violation report
20
that resulted in the loss of good time credits. This hearing was held at the California Substance
21
Abuse and Treatment Facility in Corcoran, California, which is part of the Fresno Division of the
22
United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).
23
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.
