Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
14
complaining of events at the Central Valley Modified Community Correctional Facility
15
(“CVMCCF”). CVMCCF is located in Kern County, within the venue of the Eastern District
16
of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c). No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the
17
events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue
18
therefore is proper in the Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
19
Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action
20
is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
21
The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the
22
Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
