RICHARD PARKER,

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff,
vs.

DR. J. ROHLFING, et al.,

Defendants.

/

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 High Desert

16

State Prison, which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it appears that Defendants

17

reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28

18

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

22

Court's docket as no longer pending in this district.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED:

May 7, 2012
