Plaintiff,

ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
MATTHEW KATE; et al.,
Defendants.
/

14

Andre Jamal Robinson filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining

15

of events or omissions that occurred at the High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California.

16

Susanville is in Lassen County, which is within the venue of the Eastern District of California.

17

Defendants appear to be employed at that prison and apparently reside in the Eastern District of

18

California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise

19

to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the

20

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

21

justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States

22

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