Case No. 17-cv-03539-JST (PR)
ORDER OF TRANSFER
v.
J. JONES,
Defendant.
12
13
Ronald Lee Canada, an inmate at Kern Valley State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights
14
action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining about events and omissions that took place at the
15
California Medical Facility in Vacaville, where he was previously housed. Vacaville is in Solano
16
County, which is within the venue of the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to
17
reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the
18
Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District of
19
California and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interests of justice
20
and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District
21
Court for the Eastern District of California. The Clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
