UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

Dr. YULIT, et al., 

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-12-2809 EMC (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Robert Johnson, an inmate at Corcoran 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. Corcoran State

Prison is in Kings County, which is located within the venue of the Eastern District of California. 

The Defendants 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: June 6, 2012
