UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SEAVON PIERCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

President BARACK OBAMA; et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-15-0719 EMC (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Corcoran State Prison in Kings County, filed this pro se civil

action, complaining (in Docket # 5) of events and omissions that occurred at the California State

Prison - Lancaster, which is located in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is within the

venue of the Central District of California, and most of the witnesses apparently would be found in

the Central District of California as that is the location of the acts or omissions complained of by

plaintiff. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the

complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Central 

District of California, 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.

Dated: April 24, 2015
