No. 2:20-CV-1691-DMC-P

Petitioner,
v.

ORDER

COVELLO,
Respondent.

17

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

18

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petition challenges a conviction issued by the

19

Stanislaus County Superior Court. Stanislaus County is part of the Fresno division of this court.

20

See Local Rule 120(b). Because the Sacramento division is not the proper division, this action

21

will be transferred to the Fresno division.

22
23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is transferred to the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of California sitting in Fresno.
