Defendants.

Plaintiff, currently housed at the Coalinga State Hospital in Coalinga, filed this pro se

16

civil right action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A substantial part of the events or omissions giving

17

rise to the claims in the complaint occurred at that hospital, which is located in Fresno County,

18

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Defendants work at that hospital or at the

19

state capitol and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged

20

to reside in the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District, and

21

not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant

22

to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for

23

the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.
