UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JON CHRIST, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. DAVIS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0111 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. However, all of plaintiff’s documents are captioned for filing in the Santa Clara 

County Superior Court and the certificate of service states that the documents were mailed to the 

clerk of that court. ECF No. 1 at 1, 3; ECF No. 2 at 1, 4; ECF No. 3. Plaintiff clearly intended to 

file this case in the Santa Clara County Superior Court and the complaint and accompanying 

documents were filed in this court in error.1

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 

Clerk of Court shall return plaintiff’s documents to him and close this case. 

DATED: January 21, 2016

 It appears that plaintiff has another case currently pending in this court, which may have led to 

the mailing error. See Christ v. Blackwell, 2:10-cv-0760 EFB.
