ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a pre-trial detainee at the Washington State Penitentiary proceeding pro

se, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against state and federal officials for

unlawful prison conditions and continued detention. Plaintiff also seeks damages for his

unlawful confinement following his capture in U.S. waters by State of Washington

officials. Because the acts complained of occurred in Walla Walla County, which lies

within the venue of the Eastern District of Washington, see 28 U.S.C. § 128(a), 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

Washington. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

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

Eastern District of Washington.
