ORDER OF TRANSFER
v.
QUINCY HECK, et al.,
Defendants.
12
13
This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff states that doctors at
14
United States Prison Lompoc failed to properly treat him in 1995. United States Prison Lompoc is
15
located in within the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of
16
California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. §
17
1391(b). While this case may be time barred and plaintiff also filed an earlier case in the Central
18
District with many of the same defendants, Red v. Heck, Case No. 96-cv-3325-WDK-RZ, those
19
determinations will be made in the Central District.
20
This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District
21
of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon
22
plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis,
23
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
