IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS LEE WASHINGTON,

Petitioner, No. 2:13-cv-0186 EFB P

vs.

TIM VIRGA,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner without counsel, seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner challenges a conviction in the Fresno County Superior Court and so this action

should have been commenced in the district court in Fresno. E.D. Cal. Local Rule 120(d). The

court will not rule on petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

1. This action is transferred to the district court in Fresno. See E.D. Cal. Local Rule

120(f).

2. The Clerk of Court shall assign a new case number.
