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 alleged violations took place in Fresno,
20
which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
21
California. See Local Rule 120(d).
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper
22
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.
