UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAVON GOOD,

Plaintiff,

v.

RALPH DIAZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-05991-SI 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Re: Dkt. No. 1

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

omissions that occurred at the California State Prison in Vacaville, where he was denied early parole 

consideration under Proposition 57. That prison is located in Solano County, within the venue of 

the Eastern District of California. The two defendants work at the California Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation headquarters in Sacramento County, and 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 of California. Venue 

therefore would be proper in the Eastern District, but not in the Northern District of California. 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.

Dated: December 3, 2019
