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

18

U.S.C. § 1983. In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendant Avila.

19

Plaintiff alleges defendant Avila is an officer at Valley State Prison in Madera County. However,

20

it appears that the actions he complains of arose at the Sierra Conservation Center in Tuolomne

21

County. Both Madera and Tuolomne Counties are part of the Fresno Division of the United

22

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).

23

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

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.

26

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

28

California sitting in Fresno; and
