IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRUCE ALLEN SMEDLEY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-2009 DFL KJM P

vs.

JEANNE WOODFORD, Director

of Cal. Dept. of Corrections,

 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

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

his application, petitioner challenges a conviction issued by the Calaveras County Superior

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

Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(d). 

As provided by Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action that 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.
