the interests of justice, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the
20
Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). Ruling on plaintiff’s application
21
for leave to proceed in forma pauper is deferred to the Eastern District. The clerk shall transfer
22
