Northern District of California 

RUBEN MIJEL CHAVIRA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R.C. RUTH, 

Defendant. 

Case No.: C 12-3312 CW (PR) 

TRANSFER ORDER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed the above pro se 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is 

incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP), which is located 

in Kern County in the Eastern District of California. See 28 

U.S.C. § 84(b). A substantial part of the events or omissions 

giving rise to the claims in the complaint occurred at KVSP, and 

Plaintiff has alleged no facts arising from events or omissions 

that occurred in the Northern District. Venue, therefore, 

properly lies in the Eastern District and not in the Northern 

District. 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 of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith and 

terminate all motions pending on the court docket. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
