UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY WHITE,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. WILKS,

Defendant.

1:20-cv-00079-JDP (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 Lassen 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.

Good cause appearing, it is hereby ordered that:
