San Francisco Division 

GERALD JAY WILSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

A.R. PEREZ, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 19-cv-01924-LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Re: ECF No. 1 

Gerald Jay Wilson filed this pro se civil rights action complaining about events and omissions 

occurring at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility located in Kings County and at the 

Kern Valley State Prison located in Kern County. Kings County and Kern County are within the 

venue of the Eastern District of California. All the defendants work at those prisons and apparently 

reside in the Eastern District of California. 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 would be proper in the Eastern District of California 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
