V. WHITE, et al.,

11

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 21-cv-01070-SI

Defendants.

12
13

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, filed this pro se civil rights

14

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of acts and omissions at that prison, which is located

15

in San Joaquin County, and at the California State Prison – Solano, which is located in Solano

16

County. Both of those counties are within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The

17

defendants work at those prisons and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No

18

defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint

19

are alleged to have occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the

20

Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice

21

and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District

22

Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.
