United States District Court Northern District of California 11 12 ALEXANDER ACUNA, et al., Defendants. 13 14 15 16 17 18 Plaintiff, a state prisoner and transgender female-identified inmate currently incarcerated at the California Medical Facility, has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case has been assigned to the undersigned Magistrate Judge. Dkt. 6. Plaintiff has filed an incomplete in forma pauperis application. Dkt. 2. The acts complained of occurred at the California State Prison-Sacramento (where she was 19 previously incarcerated), which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it appears that 20 defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. 21 See 28 U.S.C. §1391(b). 22 Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is 23 TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.1 The 24 Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. 25 26 If plaintiff wishes to further pursue this action, she must complete the in forma pauperis application required by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California and 27 28 1 Venue transfer is a non-dispositive matter and, thus, it falls within the scope of the jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). 1 2 3 4 mail it to that district. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 15, 2022 ______________________________________ DONNA M.
