v.

Case No. 14-cv-02768-JD 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Re: Dkt. No. 8

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Plaintiff alleged that several CDCR Transportation Officers were deliberately indifferent to his 

serious medical needs while he was being transported. Plaintiff was taken from California Men’s 

Colony and transported to Corcoran Prison with stops at California Correctional Institution, 

California Rehabilitation Center, and Chino State Prison. These locations lie in the Central and 

Eastern Districts of California. Plaintiff identified no events that occurred in the Northern District 

of California.1 

Plaintiff stated that the office of the transportation unit for CDCR lies in the Northern 

District, but provided no additional information. The Court ordered plaintiff to provide additional 

information regarding the location of the office and these defendants. Plaintiff has provided 

addresses for the defendants and they are all located in Sacramento, in the Eastern District of

California. Because none of the defendants reside in this district and as none of the events 

occurred here, this case must be transferred. Because some of the events occurred in the Eastern 

District and as plaintiff and the defendants reside there, this case will be transferred to the Eastern 

District.

Venue is proper in the district in which (1) any defendant resides, if all of the defendants 

reside in the same state, (2) the district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions 

giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is 

situated, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in 

which the action may otherwise be brought. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). This case is therefore

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1406(a). Plaintiff’s motion for an extension (Docket No. 8) is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 3, 2014
