UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY RICHARDO TURNER,

Plaintiff,

v.

FITHIAN TAYLOR, etc.; et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 07-1553 MHP (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Anthony Richardo Turner, an inmate at the Monroe Detention Center in Yolo County,

filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After filing his civil rights

complaint, he filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in this action. The court issued an

order of dismissal with leave to amend, explaining that it was not certain what plaintiff was

trying to accomplish by filing a civil rights complaint and then a petition for writ of habeas

corpus in the same action, and required Turner to file an amended complaint in which he

alleged all the claims he wanted to assert in this action.

Turner then filed a form habeas petition which was a 22-page description of many

problems he has experienced at the jail in Yolo County. (He also has filed more than two

dozen cases in the Eastern District that appear to concern his conditions at that jail and his

encounters with Yolo County law enforcement officers.) The acts and omissions complained

of in the form habeas petition occurred in Yolo County, and that county is within the venue

of the Eastern District of California. The viable defendants in the form habeas petition are

employed at the Yolo County Jail and appear to reside in the Eastern District of California.

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 Eastern District of California. 

The clerk shall transfer this matter.

Turner's motion for extension of time to amend his complaint is DENIED as

unnecessary because he had already filed the form habeas petition mentioned above before

the deadline for filing the amended pleading. (Docket # 11.) To the extent he wanted to

further amend, the motion is denied because he never submitted the further amended

complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
