No. C 13-2958 EDL (PR)

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff describes

events that occurred at the California Institution for Men in Chino, CA which lies within the

14

venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and the

15

defendants are located there as well. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not

16

in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

17

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central

18

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not

19

rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
