UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONNIE FRANKLIN ONLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. DAVIS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 22-cv-05276-DMR (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at High Desert State Prison (“HDSP”), has 

filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

This case has been assigned to the undersigned Magistrate Judge. Dkt. 4. Plaintiff has

filed an in forma pauperis application and a motion for appointment of counsel. Dkts. 2, 3.

The acts complained of occurred at HDSP in Susanville, California, which is located in the 

Eastern District of California, and it appears that defendants reside in that district. Venue, 

therefore, properly lies in that 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.1 The

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. 

All remaining pending motions are TERMINATED on this court’s docket as no longer 

pending in this district. Dkts. 2, 3.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: ______________________________________

DONNA M. RYU

United States Magistrate Judge

1 Venue transfer is a non-dispositive matter and, thus, it falls within the scope of the 

jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).
