No. C 08-1901 JF (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a letter with the Court concerning

the conditions of his confinement at the Los Angeles County State Prison in Lancaster,

California. Plaintiff claims that prison officials retaliated against him for exercising his

First Amendment rights. Because the Defendant is located in Los Angeles County and

the acts complained of occurred in Los Angeles County, which lies within the venue of

the Central District of California, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

This case is therefore TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the

Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). The Clerk shall transfer the

entire file to the Central District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
