Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-02614-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

The claims plaintiff Daronta T. Lewis raises in this federal civil rights action arise 

from events that occurred at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State 

Prison, which lies in the Eastern District of California. Accordingly, this federal suit is 

TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District, wherein venue properly lies because a substantial 

part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred there, and because the 

named defendants reside therein. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 84(b), 1391(b), and 1406(a). The 

Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
