No. C 12-1765 CW (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed the above pro se civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is

incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP), which is located

in Kern County in the Eastern District of California. See 28

U.S.C. § 84(b). The acts complained of occurred at Calipatria

State Prison, which is located in Imperial Valley in the Southern

District of California. 28 U.S.C. § 84(d). Venue, therefore,

properly lies in that 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 Southern District of California. 

The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
