Darryl O. Lewis, an inmate at San Quentin State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action

19

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and consented to proceed before a magistrate judge. His complaint asserts

20

claims about defendants’ representation in the criminal case against him in Los Angeles County

21

Superior Court. The events and omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred, and the

22

defendants appear to reside, in Los Angeles County, which is located within the venue of the

23

Central District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or

24

omissions giving rise to the complaint are alleged to have occurred in, the Northern District of

25

California. Venue is proper in the Central District, and not in the Northern District. See 28 U.S.C.

26

§ 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is

27

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The

28

1

clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
