UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT HAMMOND,

Plaintiff,

v.

GLENN COUNTY JAIL,

1

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-07209-DMR (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

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

application for in forma pauperis status. Dkts. 5, 7.

Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction, and this matter has been assigned 

to the undersigned Magistrate Judge. Dkts. 4, 6.

The acts complained of occurred at the Glenn County Jail, which is located in the Eastern 

District of California, and it appears that Defendants reside in that district. Venue, therefore, 

properly lies in that district 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 District of California. The 

Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. All pending motions are TERMINATED on 

this court’s docket as no longer pending in this district.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 18, 2017 ______________________________________
