United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL SANCHEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

DIRECTOR FOR CALIFORNIA 

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01097-EMC 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff filed this pro se civil rights action, complaining of a housing decision at Mule 

Creek State Prison, which is located in Amador County, California. Amador County is within the 

venue of the Eastern District of California. The defendant, the Director of the California 

Department of Corrections, is employed in Sacramento County and apparently resides in the 

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

omissions giving rise to the complaint are alleged to have occurred in, the Northern District. 

Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern 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: March 18, 2016
