ORDER
/

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a civil rights action
17
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his
18
complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations
19
took place in Kings County, which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District
20
Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).
21
Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in
22
the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper
23
division of the court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the
24
court. In light of 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s
25
request to proceed in forma pauperis.
