ORDER
AUDREY KING, et al.,
15
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a civil detainee housed at Coalinga State Hospital, and is proceeding without
18
counsel. Plaintiff filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request
19
to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by
20
defendants. The alleged violations took place in Tuolumne County, which is part of the Fresno
21
Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule
22
120(d). Moreover, plaintiff’s commitment proceedings under the Sexually Violent Predators Act
23
took place in Tuolumne County Superior Court, which is also part of the Fresno Division.
24
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper
25
division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division of the
26
court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court. In light of
27
1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in
28
forma pauperis.
