IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL SPERRY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

WARDEN JAMES T. YATES, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-06004 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

and an application for in forma pauperis status. The acts complained of occurred at High Desert

State Prison and Pleasant Valley State Prison, which are both located in the Eastern District of

California, and it appears that the Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies

in that district and not in this one. 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 District Court for the Eastern District of California. The

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. 

All remaining motions are TERMINATED on this Court's docket as no longer pending in

this district.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 1/12/10
