v.
DR. PIDO and DR. VOEGELE,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

Plaintiff Ivan Von Staich, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at the California

12

Men's Colony (CMC), has filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining

13

of his treatment by the medical staff at CMC. Specifically, he alleges that medical staff at

14

CMC violated his constitutional rights by rescinding his work restrictions.

15

The acts complained of in this complaint occurred at CMC, which is located in San

16

Luis Obispo County in the Central District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in

17

the Central District and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

18

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this

19

action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of

20

California. The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.
