UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAVAUGHN K. ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CORRECTIONAL OFFICER SCOTTINI,

Defendant.

Case No. 22-cv-05102-DMR (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner and transgender female-identified inmate currently incarcerated at 

the California Medical Facility, 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. 5. Plaintiff has 

filed an incomplete in forma pauperis application. Dkt. 2.

The acts complained of occurred at the California State Prison-Sacramento (where she was 

previously incarcerated), which is located in the Eastern District of California, and it appears that 

defendant resides 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. 

If plaintiff wishes to further pursue this action, she must complete the in forma pauperis

application required by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California and 

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).
