IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD E. ADAMS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

OFFICER MCCLURE, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 10-03076 CW (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and a completed application for

in forma pauperis status.

When jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity, venue is

proper in the district in which (1) any defendant resides, if all

of the defendants reside in the same State, (2) the 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. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

The acts complained of occurred at the Chuckawalla Valley

State Prison, which is located in the Eastern Division of the

Central District of California, and it appears that Defendants

reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that

district and not in this one. See id.
