IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KANWALJIT SINGH HUNDAL,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION,

Defendant. /

No. C 08-0158 CW (PR)

AMENDED ORDER OF TRANSFER

In an Order dated March 10, 2008, the Court inadvertently

classified this action as a habeas action before transferring it to

the Eastern Division of the United States District Court for the

Central District of California. In fact, this is a civil rights

action; therefore, the Court AMENDS its March 10, 2008 Order as

follows:

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has paid the full

filing fee in this case.

When jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity, venue is

proper in the district in which (1) any defendant resides, if all

of the defendants reside in the same State, (2) the district in

which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to

the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the

subject of the action is situated, or (3) a judicial district in

which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which

the action may otherwise be brought. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

The acts complained of occurred at the Chuckawalla Valley

State Prison, which is located in the Central District of

California, and it appears that Defendants reside in that district. 

Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this

one. See id. 

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern

Division of the United States District Court for the Cental

District of California. The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the

case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
