U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that he is being wrongfully prosecuted by the Office of the San Diego
15
District Attorney and the City and County of San Diego. A substantial part of the events or
16
omissions giving rise to the claim(s) occurred, and the defendants named reside, in San Diego
17
County, which lies within the venue of the Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(d).
18
Venue therefore properly lies in the Southern District. See id. § 1391(b).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
20
§ 1406(a), this action be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern
21
District of California. In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s pending
22
motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket No. 2).

The Clerk shall transfer this matter and terminate all pending motions as moot.
