This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff states that his

14

personal property was missing following his transfer from California Medical Facility to

15

Deuel Vocational Institute. Named as defendants are several officials at California Medical

16

Facility. Both of these prisons lie within the venue of the United States District Court for 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
