UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM ROBERT OMLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

BUTTE COUNTY JAIL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-02207-HSG 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, an inmate at Deuel Vocational Institute in Tracy, California (“DVI”), has filed a 

pro se civil rights action against the Butte County Sheriff’s Department, the Butte County Jail and 

Butte County, regarding events that took place while plaintiff was housed in Butte County Jail. 

Dkt. No. 1 at 1-3. Butte County is located within the venue of the Eastern District of California. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions 

giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in the 

Eastern District, and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interests 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 is directed to transfer 

the case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
