U.S.C. ' 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
' 1915.
In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged
violations took place in Lassen County, which is part of the Sacramento Division of the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Therefore, the complaint should have
been filed in the Sacramento Division.
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper
court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore, this action
will be transferred to the Sacramento Division. This court will not rule on plaintiff's request to
proceed in forma pauperis.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
