UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANA DEMETRIUS BAIRFIELD,

Plaintiff,

v.

SOLANO COUNTY JAIL and OFFICER 

COLLINS,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-1591-VC (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Dana Demetrius Bairfield, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at the Solano County Jail 

in Fairfield, has filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the Solano County Jail 

and Officer Collins for mishandling his legal mail.1 

The acts complained of in this complaint occurred in Solano County which is located in the 

Eastern District of California. Venue, therefore, properly lies in the Eastern 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 terminate all motions and transfer the case forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 30, 2014

 1 Although Bairfield filed this case on the Court’s form for filing a petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus, the Court construes it as a civil rights complaint because Barfield challenges his conditions 

of confinement rather than his conviction or sentence.
