Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983,

16

against officials and employees of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Because

17

defendants reside in and the acts complained of occurred in Pottawatomie County, which

18

lies within the venue of the Western District of Oklahoma, see 28 U.S.C. § 116(c), venue

19

properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly,

20

this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Western District of

21

Oklahoma. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

22

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the

23

Western District of Oklahoma.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
