LOY ALLEN BOWMAN, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

J. KATAVICH, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-1432-EFB P 

ORDER 

Loy Allen Bowman, a state prisoner without counsel, seeks a writ of habeas corpus

proper division of a court, the court may transfer the action to the proper division. See E.D. Cal., 

Local Rule 120(f). 

 Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that: 

 1. This action is transferred to the district court in Fresno. 

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