JOSEPH STAFFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOSS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-03269-LB 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Joseph Stafford, an inmate at the California Rehabilitation Center in Riverside County, filed 

this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining about events and omissions 

that occurred while he was housed at the California State Prison -Solano in Vacaville. Vacaville is 

in Solano County, which is within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Some or all of 

the defendants apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to 

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint appears to have 

occurred in, the Northern District. 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
