JOSHUA PHILLIP LOWERY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BROWNNEN, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 23-cv-03661-TSH 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Plaintiff, an inmate housed at Salinas Valley State Prison (“SVSP”) has filed a pro se civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that correctional officers at California Medical 

Facility, where he was previously housed, violated his civil rights. The events or omissions giving 

rise to Plaintiff’s claim(s) appear to have occurred at California Medical Facility, and no defendant 

is alleged to reside in this district. California Medical Facility is located in Solano County, which 

lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). No defendant is 

alleged to reside in this district. Venue therefore properly lies in the Eastern District. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1406(a), this action be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. The Clerk is directed to close the case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
