UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID JAMES EGGMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

RUSS MILLER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-06982-EMC 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, an inmate at Calipatria State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983, complaining that his attorney committed malpractice during his representation of 

Plaintiff in a criminal trial in the Sacramento County Superior Court. Sacramento County is 

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Defendant, whose listed work address is in 

Sacramento, apparently resides in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to 

reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint are alleged to have 

occurred in, the Northern District. 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.

Dated: February 6, 2020
