ORDER OF TRANSFER

Defendants.
___________________________________/

Dexter Brown, an inmate at the California Medical Facility - Vacaville, filed this pro se civil

15

rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events and omissions that occurred at that

16

prison. The California Medical Facility - Vacaville is in Solano County, which is located within the

17

venue of the Eastern District of California. The Defendants work at that prison or in Sacramento

18

County, and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No Defendant is alleged to

19

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern

20

District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C.

21

§ 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is

22

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

23

Clerk shall transfer this matter.
