UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SEAVON PIERCE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2644 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner incarcerated at California State Prison Corcoran, proceeds pro se 

in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Review of the original complaint, ECF No. 1, together with plaintiff’s several additional filings, 

particularly his most recent filing, ECF No. 12, demonstrates that plaintiff is challenging the 

decisions made in another of his cases, Pierce v. Gonzales et al., Case No. 1:10-cv-00285 JLT P. 

That case was commenced and decided in the Fresno Division of the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of California. Plaintiff alleges, inter alia, that the Magistrate Judge 

assigned that case violated plaintiff’s civil rights. 

 Pursuant to Local Rule 120(d), a civil action arising in Fresno County should be 

commenced in the United States District Court sitting in Fresno. Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a 

civil action which has not been commenced in the proper division of this court may, on the 

court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division. Accordingly, this action will be 

transferred to the Fresno Division of this court. In light of 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. §
