In her application, petitioner challenges the execution of her sentence. She is confined in Madera County which lies within the jurisdiction of the Fresno division of this court. When a prisoner challenges the execution of his sentence, the preferable venue is the court with jurisdiction over the place where the prisoner is confined. See Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper division of a court may, on the court's own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court. ///// 1 ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA WINDY LYNN CLICK, Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2159 KJM P
