The court's records reflect that the same plaintiff filed an action against the same defendants in the Fresno Division of this court on February 22, 2006. See Garland v. Skribner, et al., case No. CIV F-06- 0198 OWW LJO PC. The voluminous complaint in each case commences with an identical three-page form complaint that is signed but not dated. Page 62 of the 169-page Fresno complaint and page 60 of the 227-page Sacramento complaint are identical verifications dated February 15, 2006. This action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court because the complaint received in the Sacramento Division on February 27, 2006, was submitted to the wrong division of the court. Plaintiff is advised, however, that this action may be dismissed as duplicative of case No. Civ F-06-0198 OWW LJO PC. Good cause appearing, 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; and 2. All future filings shall reference the new Fresno case number to be assigned and shall be filed at: United States District Court Eastern District of California 2500 Tulare Street Fresno, CA 93721 DATED: March 3, 2006.
