On October 12, 2017, the Honorable Claudia Wilken, United States District Judge for the

23 Northern District of California, entered an order transferring this case to the Eastern District of
24 California. (Doc. 111.) Although the case was electronically transmitted to the Fresno Division, it
25 is apparent from a reading of Judge Wilken’s order that the case was intended to be transferred to
26 the Sacramento Division of the Eastern District of California. (See Doc. 111 at 4:12–14 (“The
27 claims against the remaining individual Defendants are based on allegations of facts that occurred
28 solely at [Deuel Vocational Institute]” located in San Joaquin County, which is part of the

1 Sacramento Division.) Pursuant to Rule 120(f) of the Local Rules of the United States District
2 Court for the Eastern District of California, a civil action that has not been commenced in the
3 proper court may, on the Court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper venue within the
4 District.
