Defendants.

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

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.
He alleges a violation of his civil rights arising out of events that occurred in Tulare

20
21

County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern

22

District of California. See Local Rule 120(d). Moreover, plaintiff’s commitment proceedings

23

under the Sexually Violent Predators Act took place in Tulare County Superior Court, which is

24

also part of the Fresno Division. Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been

25

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

26

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

27

the court.
