IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD A. LORD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-01846 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

and an application for in forma pauperis status.

When jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity, venue is proper in the district in which

(1) any defendant resides, if all of the defendant 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 California State Prison - Los Angeles County, which

is located in the Western Division of the Central District of California, and it appears that the

Defendant 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 Western Division of the United States District Court for the Central District

of California. The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
