ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff Darius Sims, a state inmate who is housed at

Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP) in Ione, California, has filed a

letter complaining of his treatment by medical staff at MCSP, which

the Court construes as an attempt to file a pro se complaint under

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that MCSP medical

staff are misdiagnosing or ignoring his serious medical needs. Doc.

MCSP is located in Amador County, which lies in the

Eastern District of California. Thus, the events or omissions

giving rise to Plaintiff’s claims occurred in the Eastern District

of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). Venue therefore properly

lies in the Eastern District. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is transferred to the United States
