TIMOTHY JOHNSON,

Plaintiff, No. 2:13-cv-0016 KJN P

vs.

SHAW, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel or “pro se,” has filed a civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not filed a request to proceed in forma

pauperis or paid the filing fee. In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by

defendants. The alleged violations took place in Kings 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.
