ORDER

EDMUND BRENNAN, Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff, a state prisoner without counsel, has filed a civil rights action. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Plaintiff alleges a violation of his civil rights in Coalinga, California. Coalinga is in the County of Fresno. Therefore, this action should have been commenced in the Fresno Division of this court. See Local Rule 3-120(d). The court has not yet ruled on plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis.

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

1. This action is transferred to the Fresno Division.

2. The Clerk of Court shall assign a new case number.

3. All future filings shall bear the new case number and shall be filed at:

United States District Court
