14

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

15

and an application for in forma pauperis status. The acts complained of occurred at the California

16

Correctional Institution in Kern County, which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it

17

appears that Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not

18

in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

19

Accordingly, in the interest 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 shall transfer the case forthwith. All pending motions are TERMINATED on this
