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
