IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID AUSTIN, 1:05-cv-01439-AWI-TAG HC

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER OF TRANSFER

ANTHONY J. MALFI,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 17, 2005, Petitioner paid the $5.00 filing fee pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

Petitioner is challenging a conviction from Sacramento County, which is part of the

Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

Therefore, the petition should have been filed in the Sacramento Division. 

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, this

action will be transferred to the Sacramento Division.
