ORDER

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. By order dated September 29, 2023, plaintiff’s second amended complaint was

19

dismissed, and he was granted leave to amend only with respect to the Eighth Amendment

20

excessive force, failure to protect, and state law assault and battery claims against certain

21

defendants. ECF No. 68. Following an extension of time, plaintiff filed a third amended

22

complaint. ECF No. 71.

23

In accordance with this screening order, the third amended complaint narrows the alleged

24

violations of plaintiff’s civil rights to only those defendants employed at the California Substance

25

Abuse Treatment Center (“CSATF”) in Corcoran, California. These alleged violations took place

26

in Kings County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the

27

Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).

28

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper
1

1

division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the

2

court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.

3

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

5

California sitting in Fresno; and
2. All future filings shall reference the new Fresno case number assigned and shall be
