19

U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint, plaintiff

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the

1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in

27
