SOTO,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas

17
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 conviction issued by the Fresno County Superior Court, which

20

sits in a county that is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the

21

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

22
23

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

24

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

25

notes that petitioner has another similar case pending in that court. See Walker v. Eastern District

26

Court, Case No. 1:14-cv-00332 SAB P. This court will not rule on petitioner’s instant request to

27

proceed in forma pauperis.
