ORDER
SAMER A. KANAAN, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis in an action
17
18
brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The claims alleged in the amended complaint (ECF No.
19
15) arise out of events that occurred in Napa County.
The federal venue statute provides that a civil action “may be brought in (1) a judicial
20
21
district in which any defendant resides, if all defendants are residents of the State in which the
22
district is located, (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions
23
giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action
24
is situated, or (3) if there is no district in which an action may otherwise be brought as provided in
25
this action, any judicial district in which any defendant is subject to the court’s personal
26
jurisdiction with respect to such action.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
