Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

19

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff, who is presently incarcerated at Calipatria State Prison, challenges

20

actions that allegedly occurred at California State Prison Corcoran where he was previously

21

incarcerated. The alleged constitutional violations took place in Fresno County, which is part of

22

the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See

23

Local Rule 120(d). Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action may, on the court’s own motion,

24

be transferred to the proper division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the

25

Fresno Division of this court. In light of 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will

26

not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis.
