The acts complained of occurred at the California Medical Facility, in Vacaville,

California, which lies within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. The defendant is to be found in that district as well. Venue, therefore,

properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. 1391(b).

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California. See 28 U.S.C. 1406(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
