UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VIRGIL DOUGLAS RANDALL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO STATE PRISONFOLSOM, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 16-cv-03608-MEJ (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining of 

conditions at California State Prison–Sacramento (“CSP-SAC”). CSP-SAC is located in 

Sacramento County within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). 

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 is proper in the Eastern District, and 

not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

Accordingly, in the interests 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 of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. 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:
