ORDER

AUDREY KING, et al.,

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a civil detainee housed at Coalinga State Hospital, and is proceeding without

17
18

counsel in an action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed an application to proceed

19

in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
In an unsigned complaint, he alleges a violation of his civil rights arising out of events that

20
21

occurred in Merced County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District

22

Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d). Moreover, plaintiff’s

23

commitment proceedings under the Sexually Violent Predators Act took place in Merced County

24

Superior Court, which is also part of the Fresno Division. Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil

25

action which has not been commenced in the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own

26

motion, be transferred to the proper division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred

27

to the Fresno Division of the court.
