David Harlow Churchill, a prisoner at California State Prison Solano (“CSP-Solano”), filed

16

this pro se civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He appears to be complaining of events and

17

omissions that occurred at CSP-Solano. CSP-Solano is in Solano County, within the venue of the

18

Eastern District of California. Some or all of the Defendants apparently reside in the Eastern

19

District of California. No Defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions

20

giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in

21

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

22

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

23

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
