Case No. C 16-0916 RMW (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

On February 24, 2016, plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights

complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against officials at Wasco State Prison. Wasco State

Prison lies in Kern County. Because Kern County lies within the venue of the Eastern District of

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

Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S. C. §

1406(a). The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions and transfer the entire file to the

Eastern District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
