IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VASHON TYRONE JACKSON,

Petitioner, No. 2:12-cv-1846 DAD P

vs.

PAM AHLIN, Executive Director, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a civil detainee at Coalinga State Hospital being held under

California’s “Sexually Violent Predators Act,” has filed an application for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has not filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis or

paid the filing fee.

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 Russ v. Ahlin, No. 1:09-CV-01904 DLB HC, 2011 WL 4048776 at *4 (E.D. Cal.

Sept. 9, 2011) (“Petitioner is currently confined in the Coalinga State Hospital located in Fresno

County, California, which is within the [Fresno Division of the] Eastern District of California

and thus venue is proper in the Eastern District.”).
