UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL KENNETH PORTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAPTAIN JENNINGS; et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 13-1485 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff sent to the court a document entitled "notice of polygraph evidence to be used

in trial." (Docket # 1.) In an effort to protect his rights, a new action was opened and the notice

was filed on April 3, 2013. Plaintiff was informed that he had not filed a complaint, and was

given 28 days to do so or the action would be dismissed. 

Plaintiff then filed a request for extension of time to file his complaint, and filed the

complaint on the same day. Plaintiff's request for an extension of time is GRANTED. (Docket

# 6.) The complaint (Docket # 8) received on April 25, 2013 has been filed.

In his civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff complains about tapeworms

that he is hearing and seeing in his body and excrement at Calipatria State Prison. That facility

is in Imperial County, and within the venue of the Southern District of California. Some or all

of the defendants apparently reside in the Southern 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. Venue therefore would be proper in the Southern 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
