This habeas action was filed in the unofficial southern division of this Court by an
inmate proceeding pro se who is held instead in the unofficial northern division.
Under Local Rule LR IA 1-8(a), a pro se inmate must file an action in the unofficial
division of the Court in which the inmate is held when the petition is submitted for filing.
The matter therefore will be transferred to the proper division. The transfer of the
action does not signify that the action otherwise is free of deficiencies.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the above-entitled action is hereby transferred

21

to the unofficial northern division of this Court for all further proceedings. The Clerk of Court

22

shall transfer and reopen this matter as a new action under a new docket number in the

23

northern division, and the present action under the present docket num ber shall be closed.
