UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MONICO J. QUIROGA, III,

Petitioner,

v.

KERN COUNTY SHERIFFS,

Respondents.

No. 2:16-cv-1959 KJN P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In this 

action, petitioner appears to challenge conditions at the Kern County Jail. Accordingly, the 

undersigned construes this action as a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

The alleged violations took place in Kern 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 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. In light of 

1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in 

forma pauperis.
