Case No. 17-cv-04784-MEJ (PR)

v.
A. DEANDA, et al.,
Defendants.

12
13

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining of

14

events at California Medical Facility (“CMF”). CMF is located in Solano County within the

15

venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). No defendant is alleged to

16

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the

17

Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28

18

U.S.C. § 1391(b).

19

Accordingly, in the interests of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is

20

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The

21

Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith.
