DAVID W. RIDDELL, Plaintiff, v. FRYE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO THE FRESNO DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
JEREMY D. PETERSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In his complaint, he alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations took place in Kern County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 120(d).
Under Local Rule 120(f), a civil action that has not been commenced in the proper division of the court may, on the court's own motion, be transferred to the proper division. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.
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 Fresno.
2. The Clerk of Court shall assign a new case number.
2. All future filings shall bear the new case number and shall be filed at:
United States District Court Eastern District of California 2500 Tulare Street Fresno, CA 93721
IT IS SO ORDERED.
