Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

20

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

21

violations took place in Lassen County, which is part of the Sacramento Division of the United

22

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Therefore, the complaint should have

23

been filed in the Sacramento Division.

24

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

25

court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this action will

26

be transferred to the Sacramento Division. This court will not rule on plaintiff's request to proceed in

27

forma pauperis.
