ORDER 13 RALPH DIAZ, 14 Respondent. 15 16 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 17 corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

See Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Petitioner is 21 incarcerated at California Men’s Colony, East in San Luis Obispo County. San Luis Obispo 22 County lies within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of 23 California. 24 ///// 25 ///// 26 ///// 27 ///// 28 ///// 1 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 2 | transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 3 | Dated: December 2, 2019 Pee a4 if / /, 1 CAN fu fl. ay CAROLYN K.
