MICHAEL LOUIS OVERTON,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

TRUST OFFICE; JUDGE AUBREY

COLLINGS; JUDGE WEINSTEIN,

Defendants. /

No. C 15-2254 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff is a California prisoner incarcerated at the Atascadero State Hospital who filed

this pro se civil action. He claims that defendants violated the Federal Tort Claims Act in San

Luis Obispo County, where Atascadero State Hospital is located. San Luis Obispo County is

located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of

California. Venue for civil rights claims concerning the conditions of his confinement at

Atascadero is therefore proper in the Central District. See 28 U.S.C. 1391. Accordingly, and in

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

Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). The clerk shall transfer this

matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 1 , 2015.
