Case No. C 15-2476 PSG (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

On June 4, 2015, Garland A. Jones, a California state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a

civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Correctional Officer Tolson.

Correctional Officer Tolson is employed by Corcoran State Prison and the events complained of

occurred at Corcoran State Prison, which is located in Kings County. Because Kings County lies

within the venue of the Eastern District of California, venue properly lies in that district and not

in this one.1

 Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of California.2

The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Eastern District

of California.
