UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WILLIAM BURRESS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

S. SHEISHA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0874 AC P 

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 defendants. The alleged violations took place in Kern 

County, which is located within 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 that 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 this court. In light of 

the 1996 amendments to 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;
