NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TYRONE L. REED,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARTIN BITER and R. CRANSTON,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 15-1118 NC (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against

prison officials at Kern Valley State Prison in Kern County.1

 Kern County is located within

the venue of the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none

of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District of

California. Venue therefore is proper in the Eastern District of California 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 of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the

Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
