WILLIAM L. FOWLER,

FRED FOULK, Warden; et al.,

Defendants.
_____________________________________/

15

William L. Fowler, an inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, filed this

16

pro se civil action, complaining of events and omissions occurring at that prison. The prison is

17

located in Kern County, within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The defendants are

18

employees at the prison and apparently reside within the venue of the Eastern District of California.

19

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

20

occurred in, the Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern

21

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

22

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

23

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

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
