WILLIAM L. FOWLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRED FOULK, Warden; et al., 

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

No. C 15-1740 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER

William L. Fowler, an inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, filed this

pro se civil action, complaining of events and omissions occurring at that prison. The prison is

located in Kern County, within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The defendants are

employees at the prison and apparently reside within the venue of the Eastern District of California. 

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

occurred in, the Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
