UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICARDO MARTINEZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

TIMOTHY STANDON, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 19-01246 EJD (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a pro se civil rights complaint against prison officials 

at Kern Valley State Prison, (“KVSP”), where he is currently incarcerated. Because 

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

within the venue of the Eastern District of California, see 28 U.S.C. § 84(b), venue 

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

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

California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

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

Eastern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
