NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JORGE A. PEREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

GAVIN NEWSON, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-3325-BLF (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSER

Plaintiff, who is currently being housed at the California State Prison, Los Angeles 

County (“LAC”) in Lancaster, California, filed a pro se civil rights complaint against the 

Warden at LAC and state officials. Dkt. No. 1. Because the acts complained of occurred 

in Los Angeles County, which lies within the venue of the Western Division for the

Central District of California, see 28 U.S.C. § 84(c), venue properly lies in that district and 

not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to 

the United States District Court for the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 

1406(a). 

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the

Western Division for the Central District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
