ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.

Case No. 20-cv-08795-EMC

12
13

Plaintiff, an inmate at California Medical Facility in Vacaville, filed this pro se civil rights

14

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of acts and omissions at that prison, which is located

15

in Solano County. Solano County is within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The

16

lone defendant works at that prison in Solano County and apparently resides in the Eastern District

17

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

18

to the complaint are alleged to have occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be

19

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

20

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

21

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The Clerk shall transfer this

22

matter.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
