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 while he was

16

incarcerated at California State Prison - Solano, which is located in the Eastern District of

17

California, and it appears that Defendant resides in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in

18

that district and not 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

22

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
