ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Docket No. 2) 

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner incarcerated at Centinela

State Prison, which is located in Imperial County, California. The allegedly inadequate medical

care that gives rise to plaintiff’s claims is alleged to have taken place at Centinela, and all but

one defendant, the Receiver of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Receiver, are located there. Centinela is located within the venue of the United States District

Court for the Southern District of California. Venue for this case is therefore proper in the

Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1391. As plaintiff, the events giving rise to this

complaint, and the majority of the defendants are located at Centinela, in the Southern District,

in interests of justice this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the

Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a).
