This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. The acts complained of occurred in Modesto, California, which lies within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Defendants, who are a judge and a defense attorney, appear to reside there as well. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 23, 2008. PHYLLIS J. HAMILTON United States District Judge
