ORDER OF TRANSFER

When he filed the complaint in this case, plaintiff was a California prisoner incarcerated

claims under 42 U.S.C 1983 against doctors and other officials at CMF, as well as the Secretary

of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in Sacramento, for providing

plaintiff with inadequate medical care at CMF. On July 13, 2016, a letter was received from

Both Vacaville and Sacramento, where the defendants are located and the events giving
