IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DERRICK BROWN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0458 FCD KJM P

vs.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an action, which the court

interprets to be a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking resolution

of a detainer filed against him for violation of supervised release stemming from a sentence

imposed in United States v. Derrick Brown, Cr.N. F-00-5455 OWW by the Fresno Division of

this court. In addition, petitioner is confined in California State Prison-Corcoran on a state

sentence; Corcoran is in the Fresno division of this court. 

As provided by Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action that has not been commenced

in the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper

division of the court. Venue in this case is proper in the Fresno Division. See Rumsfeld v. 

Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 463-64 (2004).
