ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Docket No. 4)

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the instant civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, concerning the conditions of his confinement at the

California State Prison - Los Angeles County in Lancaster, California, which lies within

Los Angeles County. (Compl. at 6) (Docket No. 6). Because the acts complained of

occurred in Los Angeles County, which lies within the venue of the Western Division of

the Central District of California, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States

District Court for the Central District, the Western Division, of California. See 28 U.S.

C. § 1406(a). 

In light of this transfer, the Court will defer to the Central District regarding

Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docket No. 4.) The Clerk
