IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES JOSHUA JARRARD,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

SOLANO COUNTY; ZACHARY

SANDOVAL; ROB LENKE, 

Defendants.

/

No. C 16-5410 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. No. 2)

Plaintiff is an inmate at the Contra Costa County Jail. The complaint asserts claims

under 42 U.S.C 1983 against an officer and a supervisor Lieutenant in the Fairfield Police

Department for violating his constitutional rights by using excessive force while arresting him. 

He also names the County of Solano as a defendant responsible for the violation of these rights. 

Fairfield, where the two individual defendants are located and the events giving rise to

the complaint took place, is in Solano County. Solano County lies within the venue of the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 28 U.S.C. 84(b). As a result,

the proper venue for this civil rights action is the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C.

1391. Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the

Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). Ruling on plaintiff’s motion for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis is deferred to the Eastern District.

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 29 , 2016.
