UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON E. PELLUM, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1684 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a county jail inmate proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging his arrest by state parole agents, together with a request to proceed 

in forma pauperis. In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. 

The alleged violations, however, took place in Fresno County, which is part of the Fresno 

Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 

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 

1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in 

forma pauperis.
