13

or omissions that occurred at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California. Ione is in Amador

15

the complaint. None of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the

16

17

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

18

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