UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DUC QUOC BUI,

Petitioner,

v.

ERIC HOLDER,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-0846 KJN P

ORDER

Petitioner has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

2241. Petitioner paid the filing fee.

In his application, petitioner challenges his indefinite detention in the custody of the 

Department of Homeland Security. Petitioner is incarcerated at the Mesa Verde Community 

Correctional Facility in Bakersfield, California. Bakersfield is located in Kern County. Kern 

County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California. 

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. See Brown v. 

United States, 610 F.2d 672, 677 (9th Cir. 1980) (a petition under § 2241 must be addressed to 

the district court which has jurisdiction over petitioner or his custodian); see also Braden v. 30th
