United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

13

and an application for in forma pauperis status. The acts complained of occurred at California

14

State Prison - Corcoran, which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it appears that

15

Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this

16

one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

17

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is

18

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The

19

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. All pending motions are TERMINATED on

20

this Court’s docket as no longer pending in this district.
