IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LACHANCE L. THOMAS,

Petitioner,

v.

T. ALLEN,

Respondent.

No. 2:22-CV-2314-DJC-DMC-P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petition challenges a conviction issued by the Fresno

County Superior Court. Fresno County is part of the Fresno division of this Court. See Local 

Rule 120(b). Because the Sacramento division is not the proper division, this action will be 

transferred to the Fresno division.
