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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
