Petitioner, who is currently housed at the Amador County Jail and proceeding pro se, has

18 filed a habeas corpus petition, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to
19 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
20

Petitioner challenges his detention and prosecution in Amador County, which is part of

21 the Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
22 Therefore, the petition should have been filed in the Sacramento Division.
23

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

24 court may, on the Court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this action
25 will be transferred to the Sacramento Division. This Court has not ruled on Petitioner’s request to
26 proceed in forma pauperis.
