UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VERNON WAYNE MCNEAL,

Plaintiff,

v.

CANO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2512 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff, who is presently incarcerated at Calipatria State Prison, challenges 

actions that allegedly occurred at California State Prison Corcoran where he was previously 

incarcerated. The alleged constitutional violations took place in Fresno 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 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 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will 

not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
