CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

REHABILITATION, et al.,

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 

 Defendants. RE-OPEN SACRAMENTO CASE

 / 2:06-CV-00126-LKK-PAN-P

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. On January 19, 2006. plaintiff filed a complaint at the Sacramento division of the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the case was opened as case number 2:06-CV00126-LKK-PAN-P. On January 19, 2006, plaintiff also submitted an application to proceed in forma

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The court has not ruled on the application. 

On April 7, 2006, the Sacramento court transferred the case to the Fresno division of the Eastern

District, on the grounds that plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights which took place in Fresno

County. On April 24, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration of the order transferring the case

to the Fresno division. Plaintiff contends that venue is proper in the Sacramento division because the

events alleged in the complaint took place at Solano State Prison, located in Solano County, which is

part of the Sacramento division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
