UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JORGE LUIS SOSA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CSATF WARDEN,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-05692-SI 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Re: Dkt. No. 1

Jorge Luis Sosa filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events 

or omissions that occurred at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran. That 

prison is located in Kings County, within the venue of the Eastern District of California. All of the 

defendants worked at that prison and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. 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, but not in the Northern District of California. 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 District of California. The clerk shall transfer this 

matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 17, 2019
