DAPHNYE S. LUSTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

RAUL H. AMEZCUA, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 16-1688 MEJ (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

describes events that occurred at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla,

California, which is located in Madera County. All events occurred within the venue of the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the defendants are

located there as well. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district 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 Eastern District of California. 

The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. 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.
