[ECF No. 1] 15 EDMUND G. BROWN; et al., 16 17 Defendants. _____________________________________/ 18 Plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of California currently housed at an out-of-state facility in Sayre, 19 Oklahoma, filed this pro se civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events and 20 omissions (i.e., decisions to transfer him to an out-of state facility) that occurred while he was 21 housed at the California State Prison - Solano. The prison is located in Solano County, within the 22 venue of the Eastern District of California. The named defendants work at that prison or in 23 Sacramento County, and apparently reside within the venue of the Eastern District of California. No 24 defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint 25 occurred in, the Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern 26 District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and 27 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court 28 C 14-3399 LB ORDER 1 2 3 for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter. IT IS SO ORDERED.
