1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG HC

1:07-cv-01214-AWI-WMW HC

ORDER TO RE-FILE EXISTING

PAPERWORK IN CASE NO. “1:07-cv-01271-

AWI-TAG HC” INTO CASE NO. “1:07-cv01214-AWI-WMW HC”

ORDER TO ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE

CASE NO. “1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG HC”

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On July 17, 2007, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the U.S. District

Court for the Northern District of California. On July 23, 2007, the Northern District ordered the

case transferred to the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division, where it was given the

case no. 2:07-cv-01605-MCE-DAD HC. On August 21, 2007, the Sacramento Division of this

Court ordered an intra-district transfer of that case to the Fresno Division. The case was assigned a

new case no. “1:07-cv-01214-AWI-WMW HC.” 

It appears that Petitioner, on August 29, 2007, then filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis for the petition he had originally filed in the Northern District. However, Petitioner filed

the application to proceed in forma pauperis in the Northern District of California after the case had

already been transferred from the Northern District to the Sacramento Division of this Court. 

Because the application to proceed in forma pauperis was not part of the documents originally

transferred to the Eastern District in case no. 1:07-cv-01214-AWI-WMW HC, the Sacramento

U.S. District Court

 E. D. California cd 2

Division of this Court erroneously opened a second and separate habeas case for the application,

assigning it case no. 1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG HC. Case no. 1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG HC

contains no petition, only the in forma pauperis application and the transfer orders. It is obvious,

therefore, that case no. 1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG HC was opened in error, that the documents

currently filed in that case actually should be filed in case no. 1:07-cv-01214-AWI-WMW HC. and

that case no. 1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG should be administratively closed.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The Clerk of the Court SHALL RE-FILE the existing paperwork in Case No. 

“1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG ” into Case No. “1:07-cv-01214-AWI-WMW HC”;

2. The Clerk of the Court SHALL ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE Case No. 

“1:07-cv-01271-AWI-TAG .”

Petitioner is advised that pursuant to Local Rule 7-132, documentation submitted to the Court

should be in caption form and include the appropriate case name and number.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
