RAYMOND ALFORD BRADFORD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

PAUL R. KRAUS, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 19-cv-04325-PJH 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Re: Dkt. No. 3 

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. The acts complained 

of occurred at California Men’s Facility which lies within the venue of the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that 

district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).1

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

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not 

rule upon plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket No. 3) which is 

VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: August 29, 2019 

 

PHYLLIS J. HAMILTON 

United States District Judge 

 

1 While one defendant is in this district, that defendant is an attorney for the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the acts occurred in the Eastern 

District where the other defendants are located.
