IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY C. RICHARD, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1288 DFL KJM P

vs.

M.C.I. WORLDCOM,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

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

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

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

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

District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(d). 

As provided by Local Rule 3-120(f), a civil action that 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.
