No. 11-mc-80265 WHA

SHARON BRIDGEWATER,

In this miscellaneous matter, plaintiff’s complaint was reviewed pursuant to a previous

15

order that imposed a pre-filing screening requirement for all of plaintiff’s complaints. The

16

complaint was allowed to pass pre-filing review (Dkt. No. 3). Thus, a new action will be

17

commenced and the complaint will be assigned a civil docket number different from the

18

miscellaneous matter number listed above.

19

Plaintiff now has filed a motion in this miscellaneous matter seeking “to transfer [this]

20

case to Northern District Court of Georgia” [sic]. Plaintiff states that she “filed the case in at the

21

wrong federal district court” [sic] (Dkt. No. 4). The filing of a motion to transfer in this

22

miscellaneous matter was improper. Plaintiff must file any such motion in the new civil action.

23

Or, plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss her complaint without prejudice to re-filing it in Georgia.

24

No further action will be taken as to the improper motion to transfer filed in this docket.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 7, 2011.
