IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
RANDALL BERNARD SHERMAN,
Plaintiff,
No. CIV S-05-0804 DFL KJM P
vs.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
Defendant.
ORDER
/
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint,
plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendant. The alleged violations took place in
Tuolumne County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(b).
Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(d), a civil action which has not been commenced in
the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper
division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the
court. In light of 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s
request to proceed in forma pauperis.
