ORDER OF TRANSFER

GABRIEL WILLIAMS, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiff, an inmate at the California Health Care Facility in Stockton, filed this civil rights

14

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining about events and omissions that occurred at that

15

facility located in San Joaquin County. San Joaquin County is within the venue of the Eastern

16

District of California. Some or all of the defendants work at the California Health Care Facility

17

and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in,

18

and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint appear to have occurred in, the

19

Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District and not in this one.

20

See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

21

1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District

22

of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.
