UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL JAMES GRIMES,

Plaintiff,

v.

MULE CREEK STATE PRISON 

HEALTH CARE, et al., 

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-12-0029 EMC (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Michael James Grimes, an inmate at the Mule Creek State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events and omissions that occurred at that prison. 

The Mule Creek State Prison is in Amador County, which is located within the venue of the Eastern

District of California. The Defendants apparently work at that prison, and apparently reside in 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. 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.

Dated: April 9, 2012
