ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges a decision of the Kings County 

Superior Court to collect from him a filing fee in connection with his filing of a writ of mandate 

in that court. Kings 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 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.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California sitting in Fresno; and
