IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER DALE EASLEY, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-05-1663 LKK KJM P

vs.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

Plaintiffs have filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The federal

venue statute requires that a civil action, other than one based on diversity jurisdiction, be

brought only in “(1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the

same State, (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise

to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated,

or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the

action may otherwise be brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The court has reviewed plaintiff’s

complaint and it does not appear that this court is the proper venue for this action.
