UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERROD L. HERNDON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

Defendant.

1:16-cv-00090-MJS (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 Sacramento 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(f), 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.
