LOFOFORA EVA CONTRERAZ, Plaintiff, v. D. IBARRA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO THE SACRAMENTO DIVISION OF THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by Defendants. The alleged violations took place in Lassen County, which is part of the Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Therefore, the Complaint should have been filed in the Sacramento Division.
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper court may, on the court's own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Sacramento Division.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of California sitting in Sacramento; and
2. All future filings shall refer to the new Sacramento case number assigned and shall be filed at:
United States District Court

Sacramento, CA 95814
IT IS SO ORDERED.
