ORDER OF TRANSFER
Defendants.
___________________________________/

14
Plaintiff, an inmate at the Merced County Jail, filed this pro se civil action, complaining of
15
events and omissions that occurred during his arrest and incarceration in Merced County. Merced
16
County is located within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Defendants are members of
17
the Merced Police Department and Merced County Sheriff's Department, and apparently reside in
18
the Eastern District of California. No Defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or
19
omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be
20
proper in the Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the
21
interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United
22
States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The Clerk shall transfer this matter.
23
IT IS SO ORDERED.
