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

complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights bydefendants. The alleged violations took place

in Sacramento 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 3-120(b), 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.
