1 2 3 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 5 6 No. C 13-2117 MEJ (PR) 7 8 / 9 United States District Court For the Northern District of California 10 ORDER OF TRANSFER In Re SAMUEL T. COX. Plaintiff Samuel T. Cox, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Folsom State Prison 11 (FSP) in Represa, California, has filed a letter complaining of his treatment by staff at FSP, 12 which the Court construes as an attempt to file a pro se complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 13 Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that he suffers from medical problems which are untreated by 14 FSP staff. 15 The acts complained of in his complaint occurred at FSP, located in Sacramento 16 County which lies in the Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in the 17 Eastern District and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 18 Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action 19 is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 20 The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. 21 22 IT IS SO ORDERED. 23 24 25 26 27 28 DATED: May 10, 2013 Maria-Elena James United States Magistrate Judge
