United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 18-cv-03170-JD

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff presents allegations

13
14

regarding an incident that occurred in Los Angeles County which is located in within the venue of

15

the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiff is incarcerated in

16

this district. Because the allegations occurred in the Central District and the defendants reside

17

there, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).1
This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District

18
19

of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon

20

plaintiff’s motions (Docket Nos. 2, 8) which are VACATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
