IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS D. BRALEY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1468 GEB KJM P

vs.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY JAIL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

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

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff complains of his medical care in the Los Angeles County Jail, which is

located in the Central District of California and at Wasco State Prison, which is located in the

Fresno Division of this district. See Local Rule 3-120(d). None of the incidents occurred and

none of the defendants are located in this division. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in

the proper division of a court may, on the court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper

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

In light of 1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to

proceed in forma pauperis or his motion for the appointment of counsel.
