UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ERIC JOHNSON,

Petitioner,

v.

CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL, 

FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-2082 KJN P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of 

mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Petitioner has not paid the filing fee or submitted an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis. In his application for a writ of mandamus, petitioner 

challenges a ruling issued by the California Court of Appeal for the Fifth Appellate District. 

Petitioner is currently incarcerated at California State Prison-Corcoran in Kings County. 

Kings County is located in 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 a 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.
