UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAID YSAGUIRRE,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. RODRIGUEZ, and SACRAMENTO 

COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT,

Defendants.

1:23-cv-00254-HBK (PC) 

ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO THE 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, initiated this action by filing a civil rights 

complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, accompanied with an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. Nos. 1, 2). The complaint alleges violations of 

Plaintiff’s civil rights by defendants. The alleged violations took place in Sacramento County, 

which is part of the Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. Therefore, the complaint should have been filed in the Sacramento 

Division. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b); see also Ziegler v. Indian River County, 64 F.3d 470, 474 

(9th Cir. 1995) (reviewing federal court jurisdiction and venue in a § 1983 action). The Court 

finds it in the interests of justice to transfer this case to the Sacramento Division under 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1406(a) and Local Rule 120(f). The court will not rule on plaintiff's application to proceed in 

forma pauperis.
