v.
SACRAMENTO STATE PRISONFOLSOM,
Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

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

12

conditions at California State Prison–Sacramento (“CSP-SAC”). CSP-SAC is located in

13

Sacramento County within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b).

14

No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the

15

complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District, and

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the Court will

20

not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
