Plaintiff, a Tuolumne County jail inmate proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his

19

complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations

20

took place in Tuolumne County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

forma pauperis.
