ROSALIO M. GARCIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION,

et al., 

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-12-0615 EMC (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Rosalio M. Garcia, an inmate at Avenal State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He complains of events and omissions that occurred at Avenal State

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

Defendants, most of whom work at the prison, 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: April 6, 2012
