IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL CRAIG COURTOIS, 1:06-CV-00811-AWI-WMW-HC

Petitioner, 

vs.

SHERMAN, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER RE TRANSFER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, is proceeding with a habeas corpus

action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On June 7, 2006, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus at the United

States District Court for the Central District of California, and the case was opened as case 2:06-

CV-03479-SJO-AJW. 

On June 20, 2006, the Central District transferred the case to the Northern District

of California. However, the case was inadvertently mailed to the Sacramento Division of the

Eastern District of California, who then mailed it to the Fresno Division of the Eastern District of

California. The present action was opened at the Fresno Division as case 1:06-CV-00811-AWIWMW-HC.

Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(b), a civil action which has not been commenced in

the proper court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore,
