UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYLE AVERY,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. BEARD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1517 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. Plaintiff consented to proceed 

before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On April 5, 2016, plaintiff filed 

objections to the order transferring this action to the Southern District of California.

However, this court no longer has jurisdiction over this action. See Lou v. Belzberg, 834 

F.2d 730, 733 (9th Cir. 1987). Transfer of this action, and the end of this court’s jurisdiction, was 

effective when the Southern District of California docketed the case. See id. at 733. The 

appropriate course of action for plaintiff, if any, is to move the court in the Southern District of

California to transfer the action back to the Eastern District of California. See Posnanski v. 

Gibney, 421 F.3d 977, 980-81 (9th Cir. 2005); see also Starnes v. McGuire, 512 F.2d 918, 924 

(D.C. Cir. 1974) (“the appropriate course of action when physical transfer has already taken place 

. . . is a new proceeding seeking retransfer in the transferee court”).
