ORDER

KENDALL NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.¹ In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The gravamen of 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).

1 Plaintiff has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or paid the filing fee.

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.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California sitting in Fresno; and

2. All future filings shall reference the new Fresno case number assigned and shall be filed at:
