UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISION

EDDIE LAMAR DUNBAR,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONS 

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-03784-RMI 

ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a detainee. Plaintiff presents allegations that 

occurred in 2015 and 2016 at High Desert State Prison and Folsom State Prison. Both of those 

facilities are located in the Eastern District of California. While Plaintiff is incarcerated in this 

district, the defendants, as well as the locations of the incidents underlying the allegations, are 

located in the Eastern District. 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 (dkt. 2) which is VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 18, 2019
