UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Derrick Hill (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915. In his complaint, Plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The 

alleged violations took place in San Joaquin 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 120(f), a civil action that 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.
