ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 against James Large, a prison employee at Red Onion State Prison in Pound,

Virginia. Because the Defendant is located in Wise County, Virginia, which lies within

the venue of the Western District of Virginia, venue properly lies in that district and not

in this one. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 127, 1391(b). 

This case is therefore TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the

Western District of Virginia. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the Court

will not rule upon Plaintiff’s motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (docket nos.

3, 4). The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the

Western District of Virginia. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: JEREMY FOGEL

United States District Judge
