UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDDIE PEREZ, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

GENA JONES, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:23-cv-01489 AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through appointed counsel, has filed a first 

amended application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a 

motion for a stay and abeyance. ECF Nos. 13, 16. Counsel for petitioner has also requested that 

the order appointing counsel for a limited purpose, issued on November 3, 2023, be modified to 

extend the representation through the entirety of federal court proceedings. ECF No. 16 at 9-10. 

In his amended application, petitioner challenges a conviction issued by the Kings County 

Superior Court. Kings County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d). 

 Pursuant to Local Rule 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. The 

undersigned will not rule on petitioner’s pending motion to stay proceedings and to modify the
