IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL J. COLLINS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-0155 GEB CMK P

vs.

H. SMITH, M.D., 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 to proceed in forma pauperis. In his complaint,

plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations took place at

Avenal State Prison 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). 

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. The court’s January 30, 2006, order will be vacated.
