ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. 2)

Plaintiff, an inmate at the North Kern State Prison in Delano, California, filed this civil

rights case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 complaining that he is being falsely imprisoned. Defendant,

the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is headquartered in Sacramento,

California. Both Kern County, where plaintiff is located and the alleged constitutional violation

is taking place, and Sacramento County, where defendant is located, are within the venue of the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Venue for this case is

therefore proper in the Eastern District. See 28 U.S.C. 1391. Accordingly, and in the interests

of justice, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District

of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). In light of this transfer, the application to

proceed in forma pauperis (dkt. 2) is deferred to the Eastern District.

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 31 , 2014.
