ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Docket No. 2)

 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 Deuel

Vocational Institution. Because the acts complained of occurred in San Joaquin County

and the Defendants are located in Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties, which lie within

the venue of the Eastern 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 Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S. C. §

1406(a). The Court will defer to the Eastern District on Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in

forma pauperis. (Docket No. 2.) 

The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions and transfer the entire file to the

Eastern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
