IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERICK NORWOOD,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0883 GEB GGH P

vs.

JAMES YATES, 

Respondent. 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 his application, petitioner challenges a prison disciplinary conviction issued while

incarcerated in Fresno County. Fresno County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(b). 

Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(d), 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. This court will not rule on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
