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

at that facility, appears 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 Central

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.
