Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint, plaintiff

19

alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations took place in Kings

20

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

21

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

22
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.
