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

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 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.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
