This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. The acts complained of

14

occurred at North Kern State Prison, which is in the venue of the United States District

15

Court for the Eastern District of California. The only named defendants are North Kern

16

State Prison and California Prison Health Care Services, both of which are also in the

17

Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this

18

one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

19

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

20

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not

21

rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
