UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOEL CHACON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROGELIO ORTEGA, M.D.;

et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 13-2957 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events or

omissions that occurred at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Tehachapi is in

Kern County, and therefore is within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Some or

all of the defendants apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is

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

in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District and not in this

one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
