ORDER OF TRANSFER
v.
SECRETARY OF THE DHS,
Defendant.
12
13
Plaintiff, a detainee at the Federal Correctional Institution in Herlong, California, filed a
14
pro se complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the Department of Homeland Security
15
violated his constitutional rights based on actions they took in Dallas, Texas, which lies within the
16
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that
17
the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Texas Service Center erred in denying his
18
alien worker petition. Because the acts complained of occurred in the Northern District of Texas,
19
venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this
20
case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
21
See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Northern

IT IS SO ORDERED.
