BRANDON ALEXANDER FAVOR, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

RICHARD J. DONOVAN 

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1396-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. He asserts a claim arising out of events that occurred at Richard J. Donovan 

Correctional Facility in San Diego, California. 

A civil action, other than one based on diversity jurisdiction, must be brought in “(1) a 

judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the same State, (2) a 

judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim 

occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated, or (3) a 

judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action 

may otherwise be brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

The Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility is in San Diego County. Because San 

Diego County lies within the venue of the Southern District of California, venue properly lies in 

that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b); 28 U.S.C. § 84(d). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is transferred to the Southern 

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

Dated: July 13, 2015.
