Case No. 16-cv-02448-LB 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

[Re: ECF No. 1 ]

Darryl O. Lewis, an inmate at San Quentin State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and consented to proceed before a magistrate judge. His complaint asserts 

claims about defendants’ representation in the criminal case against him in Los Angeles County 

Superior Court. The events and omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred, and the 

defendants appear to reside, in Los Angeles County, which is located within the venue of the 

Central District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or 

omissions giving rise to the complaint are alleged to have occurred in, the Northern District of 

California. Venue is proper in the Central District, and not in the Northern 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 District Court for the Central District of California. The
