No. C 19-0041 WHA (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

occurred at Tehachapi State Prison and at the California Department of Corrections (“CDCR”)

in Sacramento, California, both of which are located within the venue of the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. Defendants, who are prison employees,

appear to reside in Tehachapi and Sacramento 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). 

The clerk shall transfer this case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February , 2019.
