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

14

complaining of events at the Solano County Jail (“SCJ”). SCJ is located in Solano County,

15

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c). No defendant

16

is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint

17

occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District, and not

18

in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

19

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

20

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

21

The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the

22

Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
