UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY ALTAMIRANO SERMENO,

Plaintiff,

v.

MONTEREY COUNTY SUPERIOR 

COURT, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-2021 KJM CKD P

ORDER 

Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil action challenging 

conditions of confinement at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran.1 

Corcoran is in Kings County, which 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 this 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.

 Plaintiff’s complaint is submitted on the court’s form-application for a writ of habeas corpus 

under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 which is used by state prisoners challenging their confinement or 

duration thereof. See Nettles v. Grounds, 830 F.3d 922, 927 (9th Cir. 2016). However, to the 

extent plaintiff states any claim upon which relief might be granted, plaintiff challenges the 

conditions at his place of confinement. While plaintiff asks for release from prison as a result of 

the conditions of his confinement, nothing suggests an adequate remedy would be, at most, 

transfer to a different prison.
