IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUNNY LYNNE KNAUFF, 1:08cv00343-AWI-TAG (HC)

Petitioner, ORDER OF TRANSFER

vs.

TINA HORNBEAK,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a habeas corpus action pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915. 

Petitioner is challenging a conviction from Butte County, which is part of the Sacramento

Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Therefore, the

petition should have been filed in the Sacramento Division. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the

proper court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this

action will be transferred to the Sacramento Division. This court will not rule on petitioner's

request to proceed in forma pauperis.
