NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KASEY FREDERICK HOFFMANN,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEVIN JONES,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 15-3420 NC (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

defendant, an official at Lassen Adult Detention Facility in Susanville, California.1

Susanville is located in Lassen County, which is within the venue of the Eastern District of

California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). There is no allegation that defendant resides, or that any

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 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 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.
