This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner incarcerated at Wasco State

17

Prison in Wasco, California. He sues officials and entities in Riverside County based on actions

18

they took while he was in the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff. Riverside County is

19

located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of

20

California. Venue for this case is therefore proper in the Central District. See 28 U.S.C. 1391.

21

Accordingly, and in the interests of justice, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States

22

District Court for the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). Ruling on

23

plaintiff’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (dkt. 2, 6) is deferred to the

24

Central District. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
