No. 2:18-cv-0036 AC P

Petitioner,

R.C. JOHNSON,

15

ORDER

Respondent.

By order filed January 12, 2018, the court found that venue in this case was proper in the

18

District Court for the Central District of California. ECF No. 3. However, because the petition

19

contained an explicit request to not transfer the case to the Central District, petitioner was given

20

an opportunity to voluntarily dismiss the petition and advised that if he chose not to do so, the

21

petition would be transferred to the Central District. Id. Petitioner has not moved to withdraw

22

the petition, and therefore the case will now be transferred.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is transferred to the United

24

States District Court for the Central District of California.
