Plaintiff, a state prisoner housed at Kern Valley State Prison and proceeding pro se, has

18

filed this action, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint, plaintiff

19

brings suit against his trial counsel for breach of contract. The alleged violations took place in

20

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

21

Eastern District of California. See E.D. 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.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
