T. W. MEADORS,

No. C 07-1246 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

occurred at the California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi, which lies within the venue of

the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Defendants, who are

prison employees, 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. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 15, 2007.
