Doc. #1. The RJ Donovan Correctional Facility is located in San Diego County, which lies in the Southern District of California. Thus, a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff’s claims occurred in the Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). Southern District. Venue therefore properly lies in the See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 1 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is transferred to the United States 2 District Court for the Southern District of California. 3 4 The Clerk shall transfer this matter, terminate all pending motions as moot and close the file. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. 7 8 9 DATED 04/02/2013 THELTON E.
