Plaintiff,

ORDER OF TRANSFER
[Re: ECF Nos. 1]

v.

14

MR. BROWN; et al.,

15

Defendants.
_____________________________________/

16
17

Plaintiff, an inmate at the California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo, filed this pro se civil

18

action, complaining of events and omissions that occurred at Wasco State Prison. The prison is

19

located in Kern County, within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The named

20

defendants all work at that prison and apparently reside within the venue of the Eastern District of

21

California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to

22

the complaint occurred in, the Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper in

23

the Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of

24

justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States

25

District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.

26
27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
