District of California. Local Rule 120(f), provides that a civil action which has not been

court. Therefore, this action will be transferred to the Sacramento Division of the Eastern

District of California. 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 Sacramento Division of the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of California; and

2. This court has not ruled on plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
