Plaintiff,

KERN VALLEY STATE PRISON, et. al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-0495 NJV (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

regarding the conditions of his confinement in Kern Valley State Prison. This prison 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: March 24, 2016.
