UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TOROMI RADEL WASHINGTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CORRECTIONAL CORPORATION OF 

AMERICA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02809-JST (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a State of California prisoner currently incarcerated at the La Palma Correctional 

Center in Eloy, Arizona, has filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Eloy, 

Arizona lies within the venue of the District Court of Arizona. See 28 U.S.C. § 82. 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 is proper in the District of Arizona, and 

not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 

Accordingly, in the interests of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is 

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. In view of the 

transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the case forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 24, 2015
