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

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

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.
