ORDER TRANSFERRING

CASE TO THE SACRAMENTO

DIVISION OF THE EASTERN

DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 27, 2012, Plaintiff Billy Henderson filed this lawsuit in the Fresno Division

of the Federal Eastern District of California. The Complaint indicates that Plaintiff currently

resides in the High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California, which located in Lassen County. 

Importantly, the Complaint complains of conduct by various Defendants that occurred in Glenn

County. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(d), all civil actions and proceedings of every nature arising in

Glenn County California (as well as Lassen County) are to be commenced in the Sacramento

Division of the Federal Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d). It is not

uncommon for a case to be commenced in the wrong division of the Eastern District of

California. Accordingly, Local Rule 120(f) provides: Whenever in any action the Court finds

upon its own motion . . . that an action has not been commenced in the proper court in

accordance with this Rule . . . the Court may transfer the same to another venue within the

District.” Local Rule 120(f).

Since Fresno is not the proper division within the Eastern District of California for this

case, the Court will transfer this case to the Sacramento Division. See Local Rules 120(d), (f).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is forthwith transferred to the

Sacramento Division of this District.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
