Defendants.
/

13

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

14

complaining of conditions at California Men’s Colony (“CMC”). CMC is located in San

15

Luis Obispo County within the venue of the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C.

16

§ 84(c). No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise

17

to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the Central

18

District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

19

Accordingly, in the interests of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action

20

is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central 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.
