ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against
prison officials at Corcoran State Prison in Kings County.1 Kings County is located within
the venue of the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none
of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District of
California. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District of California and not in this one.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action
is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the
Court will not rule upon Plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
