UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAM'BRI SEAN JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ERIC ARNOLDS,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03731-JST (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This case was opened when plaintiff, who is incarcerated at California State Prison –

Solano ("CSP-Solano") in Vacaville, California, filed a document entitled, "Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus." Plaintiff has also filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). 

Plaintiff's various complaints, however, allege civil rights claims in that he complains 

about the conditions of his confinement rather than the fact of his confinement or the length of it. 

Specifically, he complains that CSP-Solano officials have imposed restrictions on his non-contact 

visits with minors, thereby denying him visitation with his five sons. 

CSP-Solano is located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. Venue for civil rights claims concerning the conditions of confinement at 

CSP-Solano therefore lies in that district. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391. Accordingly, and in the interests 

of justice, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District 

of California. See §§ 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). The Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff's request for leave to proceed

IFP. Because it has construed this case as a civil rights action, the Court directs the Clerk to recode this case under the following nature of suit: "555 Prisoner: Prison Condition."

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 4, 2014
