ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
LAC WARDEN, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action complaining of events at California State

13

Prison–Los Angeles County (“CSP-LAC”). CSP-LAC is located in Los Angeles County within

14

the venue of the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c). No defendant is alleged to

15

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the

16

Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the Central District, and not in this one. See 28

17

U.S.C. § 1391(b).

18

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

19

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The

20

Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the Court will

21

not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or motion for appointment

22

of counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
