ORDER

104th CONGRESS, et al.,

Respondents.

Petitioner is a federal prisoner incarcerated in Atwater Penitentiary, in Merced County,

17
18

California. He proceeds pro se and has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant

19

to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis.
Merced County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the

20
21

Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d). Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil

22

action which has not been commenced in the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own

23

motion, be transferred to the proper division of that court. As a petition under § 2241 “must be

24

addressed to the district court which has jurisdiction over [petitioner] or his custodian,” Brown v.

25

United States, 610 F.2d 672, 677 (9th Cir.1980), this action will be transferred to the Fresno

26

Division of this court. The court has not ruled on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma

27

pauperis.
