IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA No. C 11-00811 CW (PR) ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff,

D. JACKSON, et al., Defendants. /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Avenal State Prison, filed this action as a civil action in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, Kelly v. Jackson, et al., Case No. 110CV186459. On February 22, 2011, Defendants removed the action to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b). Defendants, who are

represented by the State Attorney General's Office,1 have filed a motion asking the Court to screen the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. The acts complained of occurred at Avenal State Prison, which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it appears that Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, See 28 U.S.C.

properly lies in that district and not in this one. § 1391(b).

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
