UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEKAULA KWAME,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JOEL LUERA, EDWARD R. JAGELS,

and THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD,

Defendants. /

No. C 08-0812 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. The acts complained of

occurred in Bakersfield, which lies within the venue of the United States District Court for

the Eastern District of California. Defendants, who are a Bakersfield police officer and a

prosecutor, appear to reside there as well. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district

and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not

rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff may disregard

the clerk’s notice regarding his in forma pauperis application. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 25, 2008.
