IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY FRANK ASBERRY, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SHERIFF THOMAS H. SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 15-2441 MEJ (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

complaining of events at the Washington County Law Enforcement Center in Sandersville,

Georgia. Sandersville is located within the venue of the Middle District of Georgia. See 28

U.S.C. § 90(b). 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

is proper in the Middle District of Georgia, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

Accordingly, in the interests of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action

is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. 

In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis. The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the

case forthwith. 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
