IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
JOSE LUIS TAPIA-FIERRO,
Petitioner,
No. CIV S-06-1448 DFL KJM P
vs.
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
GENERAL,
Respondent.
ORDER
/
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of
habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In
his application, petitioner challenges a conviction issued by the Stanislaus County Superior
Court. Stanislaus County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(d).
As provided by Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced
in the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper
division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the
court. This court will not rule on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
