UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PHY CHHEM, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

LORETTA E. LYNCH, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-1970 EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a federal detainee without counsel. He is confined to Mesa Verde 

Community Correctional Facility in Kern County, California. He proceeds pro se and has filed an 

application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request for 

appointment of counsel. 

Kern 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 that court. As a petition under § 2241 “must be 

addressed to the district court which has jurisdiction over [petitioner] or his custodian,” Brown v. 

United States, 610 F.2d 672, 677 (9th Cir. 1980), this action will be transferred to the Fresno 

Division of this court.
