Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

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

19

alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The incidents giving rise to the alleged civil

20

rights violations took place in Kern, Kings, and Tulare Counties, which are 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, all of the named defendants are located in Kings County.
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

23
24

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

25

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

26

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

27

forma pauperis.
