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.
