NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRED WILSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT FOX, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00087-DMR (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

On January 7, 2016, Plaintiff, an inmate at the California Medical Facility (“CMF”), filed a 

pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Dkt. 1. Plaintiff has also submitted an in 

forma pauperis application. Dkt. 2. Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction in this 

action. Dkt. 4. 

A review of Plaintiff’s case reveals that he has initiated his civil action in the wrong 

judicial district. The acts complained of occurred at CMF in Vacaville, which is located in 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.

Any remaining motions are TERMINATED on this Court’s docket as no longer pending in 

this district. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 3, 2016 _________________________________

 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).
