Case No. 16-cv-04436-LB 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

[Re: ECF No. 6 ]

Donald Eugene McKnight, an inmate at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, filed this 

pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining about events and omissions at that 

prison. Vacaville is in Solano County, which is within the venue of the Eastern District of 

California. No defendants are listed in his complaint. 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 would be 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
