T. VILES; et al.,

Defendants.

Samaty Emmanuel Mahan filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,

15

complaining of events or omissions that occurred while he was at the California State Prison -

16

Sacramento and Folsom State Prison in 2010 through May 2011. Both of those facilities are in

17

Sacramento County, within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Some or all of the

18

defendants apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to

19

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the

20

Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District and not in this one.

21

See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

22

1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

23

District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.
