Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a complaint pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983 against Kern Valley State Prison officials. Plaintiff claims that Defendants

19

are retaliating against him for exercising his right to file inmate grievances, violating his

20

First Amendment rights. Because the acts complained of occurred in Kern County, which

21

lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California, venue properly lies in that

22

district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this case is

23

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

24

See 28 U.S. C. § 1406(a). The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the

25

entire file to the Eastern District of California.
