ORDER OF TRANSFER

United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

10

Plaintiff Christopher Johnson, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Valley State

11

Prison (VSP) in Chowchilla, California, has filed a letter complaining of his treatment by

12

staff at VSP, which the Court construes as an attempt to file a pro se complaint under 42

13

U.S.C. § 1983. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that he suffers from heart disease that is not

14

treated by VSP medical staff.

15

The acts complained of in his complaint occurred at VSP, which is located in the

16

Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in the Eastern District and not

17

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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
