UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAUL ALVAREZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

NASTRAN HASHEMI, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-0235 AC P 

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 defendant. 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 120(d). 

 Pursuant to Local Rule 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. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. This court has not ruled on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis;
