IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GLENN MASON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-0260 GEB DAD P

vs.

JOHN DOVEY, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a prison disciplinary decision that

resulted in loss of good time credits. Petitioner has also filed a request to proceed in forma

pauperis. 

Pursuant to 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. If a petition for writ of habeas corpus is directed to the manner in which a

sentence is being executed, the district of confinement is the preferable forum. Petitioner is

currently confined at Corcoran State Prison in Kings County. Kings 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). Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.
