UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID NEWMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

SUE SUMMERSET; et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 09-6009 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

David Newman filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of

events or omissions that occurred at the Ironwood State Prison in Blythe, California. Blythe is

in Riverside County, within the venue of the Central District of California. Some of the

defendants allegedly do business at that prison, although at least one defendant is an employee

at the CDCR in Sacramento and apparently resides in the Eastern District of California. No

defendant is alleged to reside in the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the

Central 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 Central District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
