ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a motion in which he seeks an order directing prison officials to transfer plaintiff from Folsom State Prison. However, the court generally does not have the authority to order prison officials to house a prisoner at a particular prison within a state, Meachum v. Fano, 427 U.S. 215 (1976), and there does not appear to be any reason to depart from that rule here. Therefore, plaintiff's motion (#41) is denied.
