IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LIONELL ROSE, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-05-1131 GEB KJM P

vs.

JEANNE WOODFORD, Director, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. The violations alleged in plaintiff’s complaint took place in Kings County,

which lies within the jurisdiction of the Fresno Division of this court. Also, it appears that all of

the defendants, except defendant Woodford, reside in Kings County. It does not appear that

plaintiff’s complaint states a claim upon which relief can be granted against defendant

Woodford. Finally, while plaintiff could be transferred, he is currently housed in Kings County. 

For the foregoing reasons, the court will transfer this action, under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), to the

Fresno division of this court. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California sitting in Fresno; and
