Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

JILL A. EGGLESTON,
Defendant.
/
Plaintiff, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action

18

pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). For cases

19

such as this, which are based on federal question jurisdiction, the federal venue statute requires

20

that the action be brought only in “(1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all

21

defendants reside in the same State, (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events

22

or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject

23

of the action is situated, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is

24

no district in which the action may otherwise be brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Here, the

25

claim(s) arose in Eloy, Arizona, which is within the boundaries of the United States District

26

Court for the District of Arizona. Therefore, the court finds that this action most appropriately
1

1

proceeds in that district. In the interest of justice, the court will transfer this case. See 28 U.S.C.

2

§ 1406(a).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is transferred to the
United States District Court for the District of Arizona.
