No. C 14-4665 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Plaintiff, in custody at the Coalinga State Hospital in Coalinga, filed this pro se civil action,

complaining of events and omissions that occurred at the hospital and in the Yuba County Superior

Court. The hospital is in Fresno County and the court is in Yuba County, both of which are located

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. (Plaintiff alleges that Yuba County is located

within the venue of the Northern District of California, but he is incorrect. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b).) 

The named defendants apparently reside within the venue of the Eastern District of California. No

defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint

occurred in, the Northern District of California. Venue therefore would be proper 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 shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
