MASA NATHANIEL WARDEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

W. WILLIAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-00675-DMR (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, who is currently in custody at the California Health Care Facility, has filed a pro 

se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Dkt. 1. Plaintiff has also consented to 

magistrate judge jurisdiction in this action. Id. at 4. He has not filed a completed in forma 

pauperis application.

Plaintiff’s claims stem from incidents involving the Redding Police Department that 

occurred in the City of Redding, which is in Shasta County. Thus, the acts complained of 

occurred in Shasta County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California, and it 

appears that Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district 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 Eastern District of California.1 The 

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. 

If Plaintiff wishes to further pursue this action, he must complete the in forma pauperis

 

1 Venue transfer is a non-dispositive matter and, thus, it falls within the scope of the jurisdiction of 

the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).
