UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE SCOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. T. A. KELLEY; et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 06-7464 MHP (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Maurice Scott, currently incarcerated at the California State Prison - Sacramento, filed

this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of acts and omissions at

the California State Prison - Solano, which is located in Solano County. Solano County is

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Defendants are employees at the

California State Prison - Solano and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. 

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. 

The clerk shall transfer this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 20, 2006
