United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In re DAVID NAVARRO,

 /

No. C 13-01791 YGR (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This action was opened on April 19, 2013, when the Court received from Inmate David

Navarro a letter to the Honorable Thelton E. Henderson that concerned prison conditions. 

On the same date, the Clerk of the Court notified Plaintiff in writing that his action was

deficient in that he had not submitted his complaint on a proper complaint form and had not

submitted an in forma pauperis application. The Clerk further notified him that this action would be

dismissed he if did not submit a complaint on the proper form and a completed in forma pauperis

application within twenty-eight days.

Further review of Plaintiff's case reveals that, in addition to failing to submit the proper

documents, he has also initiated his civil action in the wrong judicial district. Plaintiff's letter states

that he is currently incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility (RJDCF) in San

Diego, California. He alleges that the medical staff at RJDCF have "denied [him] appropriate

medical care." (Apr. 19, 2013 Letter at 1.) 

RJDCF is located in the Southern District of California, and it appears that Defendants reside

in that district. 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 shall transfer the case forthwith.

If he wishes to further pursue this action, Plaintiff must complete the complaint form and in

forma pauperis application required by the United States District Court for the Southern District of

California and mail them to that district.

Henderson.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
