ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO TRANSFER ORIGINAL PRISONER 

GRIEVANCE

(ECF No. 26)

Plaintiff Wondiyrad Kabede (“Plaintiff”) is state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff originally filed this case in the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (“NDCA Court”). 

On April 23, 2015, the case was transferred to this Court, and a new case number was assigned. 

(ECF No. 13.) 

On November 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion under his old case number in the United 

States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (“NDCA 

Court”) and in this Court under the current case number. (ECF No. 26.) In the motion, titled 

“Request to Transfer Original Prisoner Grievance Essential Element of This Case to Eastern 

District Fresno Court,” Plaintiff explains that he sent an original grievance document to the 

NDCA Court, and he wishes for it to be returned to him, or if it was transferred to this Court, he 

would like to be notified. This Court has no such original document, and therefore Plaintiff’s 

motion to have that document returned to him is denied.

As explained to Plaintiff in the First Informational Order issued on April 24, 2015, the 

Court will not serve as a respository for evidence. Evidence need not be submitted with the 

Court until it becomes necessary to do so in connection with a motion for summary judgment, 

trial or the Court requests otherwise. Further, a pro se plaintiff need not attach exhibits to his 

complaint to prove the truth of what is said in the complaint. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to transfer original 

prisoner grievance (ECF No. 26) is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
