Plaintiff Rolyat Taylor Johnson, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Avenal State
Prison, has filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining of his treatment by
staff at the California Institute for Men (CIM), where Plaintiff formerly was incarcerated.
Specifically, he alleges that his medical condition was untreated by CIM medical staff.
The acts complained of in his complaint occurred at CIM, which is located in San
Bernardino County in the Central District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in
the Central District and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action
is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.
