UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

In re CALVIN S. LYNN,

Plaintiff

 

 /

No. C 14-4016 PJH (PR)

ORDER VACATING

DISMISSAL, REOPENING

CASE AND TRANSFERRING

This civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner was dismissed without

prejudice because plaintiff failed to file a complaint or a motion to proceed in forma

pauperis. After the case was dismissed, plaintiff filed a complaint and an in forma pauperis

application. Therefore, the case will be reopened and the court will review the complaint.

Plaintiff states that he was provided inadequate medical or denied medical services

at four different facilities. Three of the facilities are located in the Eastern District of

California and one facility is in the Southern District of California. Plaintiff is currently

incarcerated in the Eastern District but presents no allegations of any conduct that occurred

in this district. Because many of the allegations occurred in the Eastern District of

California and he is incarcerated there, venue properly lies in that district and not in this

one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

CONCLUSION

1. The order of dismissal (Docket No. 10) is VACATED and this case is

REOPENED.

2. 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 request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
