Case No. 18-cv-00225-MEJ (PR)
ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
KAYLEEN POWELL, 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 Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (“SATF”). SATF is located in Kings

15

County within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). 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. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District, and not in this

18

one. See 28 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. In view of the transfer, the Court will

22

not rule upon plaintiff’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
