Case No. 17-cv-03630-JST (PR)
ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
SERGEANT NIEBERT,
Defendant.

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.
