UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NEYMAN MAKSIM,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. VIRK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-05505-JST (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff Neyman Maksim, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Valley State Prison 

(VSP) filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining that VSP staff 

have denied him needed patella replacement. 

The acts complained of in his complaint occurred at VSP, located in Madera County which 

lies in the Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies 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 shall transfer the case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 24, 2014
