JOSEPH S. DURAN III,

Plaintiff, 

vs.

LESLIE M. CALDWELL,

 Defendants.

 /

1:10-cv-00998-DLB (PC)

ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO THE

SACRAMENTO DIVISION OF THE EASTERN

DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged

violations took place in Solano County, which is part of the Sacramento Division of the United

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Therefore, the complaint should have

been filed in the Sacramento Division. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(b), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this action will

be transferred to the Sacramento Division. This court will not rule on plaintiff's request to proceed in

forma pauperis.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
