Northern District of California

Eric Mark Watkins, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Salinas Valley State Prison
12
(“SVSP”), has filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining of his treatment by
13
Defendant, an employee at Corcoran State Prison (“CSP”), where Watkins was previously
14
incarcerated.
15
The acts complained of in this complaint occurred at CSP, which is located in Kings
16
County in the Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in the Eastern District
17
and not 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 is
19
TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The
20
Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.
