UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GARY FRANCIS FISHER,

Petitioner,

v.

RICK BARRIOS, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 14-cv-01176-WHO (PR) 

ORDER REOPENING ACTION;

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This federal habeas action was dismissed because petitioner Fisher failed to perfect 

his application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or pay the full filing fee of $5.00. He 

has since filed a motion to alter the judgment (Docket No. 8) and more IFP documentation. 

The Court construes the motion to alter the judgment as a motion to reopen. So construed, 

it is GRANTED. The action is REOPENED and the Clerk is directed to amend the docket 

accordingly. The judgment (Docket No. 7) and the order of dismissal (Docket No. 6) are 

VACATED. 

Fisher challenges a conviction he suffered in the Kern County Superior Court, 

which lies in the Eastern District. Accordingly, this action is TRANSFERRED to the 

Eastern District of California, as that is the district of conviction. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404(a), 

2241(d); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). The Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 9, 2014
