IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH RAUL CONTRERAS,

Petitioner, No. 2:13-cv-0807 EFB P

vs.

F. CHAVEZ,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner challenges a conviction in the Kern County Superior Court and so this action

should have been commenced in the district court in Fresno. E.D. Cal. Local Rule 120(d). The

court will not rule on petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

1. This action is transferred to the district court in Fresno. See E.D. Cal. Local Rule

120(f).

2. The Clerk of Court shall assign a new case number.
