San Francisco Division 

TAUNO A. KOIVISTO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GILL, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 20-cv-02710-LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Tauno Koivisto filed this pro se civil rights action complaining about events and omissions 

occurring at the California State Prison in Lancaster, located in Los Angeles County and within 

the venue of the Central District of California. The defendants are doctors at that prison and 

apparently reside in the Central 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 of 

California. Venue therefore would be proper in the Central District of California 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 Central 

District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 24, 2020
