UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MIRANDA MARSHALL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ASHLYN T. BERT DOWLING, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:24-cv-2533 KJM SCR 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983, 

together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In the complaint, plaintiff alleges violations 

of her civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations took place in Kern County, which is part 

of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

See E.D. Cal. R. 120(d). 

 Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), 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 the 

potentially consequential screening process required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule 

on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. This court has not ruled on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis;
