UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DURWARD JONES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

AUDREY KING, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2332-MCE-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a civil detainee housed at Coalinga State Hospital, and is proceeding without 

counsel in an action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed an application to proceed 

in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

In an unsigned complaint, he alleges a violation of his civil rights arising out of events that 

occurred in Merced 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). Moreover, plaintiff’s 

commitment proceedings under the Sexually Violent Predators Act took place in Merced County 

Superior Court, which is also part of the Fresno Division. 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.
