Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. At the time that plaintiff filed his complaint, he was a

prisoner at High Desert State Prison (HDSP) in this judicial district. However, plaintiff alleges

21

violations of his civil rights by defendants located at three different prisons in California. The

22

majority of the alleged violations took place at the California Correctional Institution located in

23

Kern County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the

24

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

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

26

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

27

court. Based on the above analysis of the complaint, this action will be transferred to the Fresno
