v.

Defendants.
/

12
13

This is a civil rights case brought by a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff originally

14

filed a letter and was informed by the court that he must file a formal complaint. Plaintiff has filed a

15

complaint and it is now clear that none of the acts complained of occurred in the Northern District of

16

California. Plaintiff alleges improper medical care at several institutions in different districts, but

17

the majority of events occurred and the named defendants work at California Men’s Colony. That

18

institution lies within the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of

19

California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in the Northern District. See 28

20

U.S.C. § 1391(b).

21

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of

22

California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not rule upon plaintiff's

23

request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or his motion to appoint counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
