Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has
filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
The acts complained of occurred at North Fork Correctional Facility, which is located
in the Western District of Oklahoma, and it appears that Defendants reside in that district.
Venue, therefore, properly lies in that 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 Western District of Oklahoma.
The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the case forthwith.
