Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

J. WUERTH, et al.,
Defendants.

17

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. The alleged civil rights violations took place at Corcoran State Prison, which

19

is within the boundaries of the Fresno division of the United States District Court for the Eastern

20

District of California. See Local Rule 120(b). Pursuant to Local Rule 120(d), a civil action

21

which has not been commenced in the proper division of the court may, on the court’s own

22

motion, be transferred to the proper division. Because the Sacramento division of this court is not

23

the proper division, this action will be transferred to the Fresno division.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is transferred to the

25

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California sitting in Fresno.

Dated: August 13, 2019
