UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

D. DUSTIN, 

Plaintiff,

v.

C. GIPSON, Former Warden; et al., 

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-14-2928 EMC (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Corcoran State Prison, filed this pro se civil action, complaining of

events and omissions that apparently occurred at that prison and apparently involved staff at that

prison. See Docket # 1 at 3, 17-18. Corcoran State Prison is in Kings County, which is within the

venue of the Eastern District of California. The 30+ defendants apparently reside in the Eastern

District, as they are employed at Corcoran State Prison. No defendant is alleged to reside in the

Northern District and Plaintiff even alleges that the Eastern District is the proper district, see id. at

17. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern 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 Eastern District of California. The

Clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 2, 2014
