UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

GARY CECIL,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JEFF BEARD,

Defendant. /

No. C 13-3758 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff originally filed a

letter and the court informed plaintiff he must file a formal complaint. Plaintiff has filed a

complaint and it is now clear that the acts complained of occurred at High Desert State

Prison which lies within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District

of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28

U.S.C. § 1391(b).

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not

rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 16, 2013.
