Case No. 15-cv-05865-JST (PR)
ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
SUPERIOR COURT, et al.,
Defendants.

12
13

Plaintiff, an inmate at the California Healthcare Facility, has filed a pro se civil rights

14

complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining of conditions at the Los Angeles County Jails,

15

where he was previously incarcerated. Los Angeles County is within the venue of the Central

16

District of California, and most of the witnesses apparently would be found in the Central District

17

of California as that is the location of the acts or omissions complained of by plaintiff. No

18

defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

Court for the Central District of California. The Clerk shall transfer this matter.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
