Plaintiff,
ORDER OF TRANSFER
v.
EDMOND G. BROWN; et al.,
Defendants.
/
13
14
Plaintiff, an inmate at the Deuel Vocational Institute in Tracy, California, filed this civil
15
rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining that the Department of Motor Vehicles in
16
Tracy will not accept his certificates of completion from alcohol and substance abuse classes
17
taken in prison as evidence of satisfactory completion of the sDMV's requirement that he
18
complete a certified 18-month drinking driver program. The City of Tracy is in San Joaquin
19
County, California. The events and omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred within the
20
Eastern District of California and some or all of the defendants apparently reside in the Eastern
21
District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions
22
giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper
23
in the Eastern District and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest
24
of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United
25
States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
