Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

22

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

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

24

will not rule on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.

1. This court has not ruled on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis;
