IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS D. HOVANSKI,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-3000 DAD P

vs.

PAMELA AHLIN, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a civil detainee proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

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

pauperis. In his application, petitioner challenges the execution of his sentence at Coalinga State

Hospital in Fresno County. Fresno 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.
