UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TANNEN SOOJIAN, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

JOE A. LIZARRAGA, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-0371 AC 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 requests to proceed in forma pauperis and for 

appointment of counsel. In his application, petitioner challenges a conviction issued by the 

Fresno County Superior Court. Fresno County 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. This court 

will not rule on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
