Plaintiff is a civil detainee at Coalinga State Hospital who proceeds pro se with a civil

rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and a request to proceed in forma pauperis.

Plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by employees of Coalinga State Hospital. These

20

alleged violations took place in Fresno County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United

21

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).
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.

24

Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division. In light of the 1996 amendments

25

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