IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VIRGIL DOUGLAS RANDALL,

Plaintiff,

v.

FOLSOM FACILITY,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 15-5648 MEJ (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

complaining of conditions at California State Prison–Sacramento (“CSP-SAC”). CSP-SAC

is located in Sacramento County within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See

28 U.S.C. § 84(b). No defendant is alleged to reside in, and none of the events or omissions

giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District. Venue therefore is proper in

the Eastern District, 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 Eastern District of California. 

The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith. In view of the transfer, the

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

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
