UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MAHDEE ADUL AKBAR, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JENNIFER BARRETTO, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 17-cv-00119-MEJ (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

This case was opened when plaintiff, who is incarcerated at the California Health Care 

Facility (“CHCF”) in Stockton, California, filed a document entitled, “Petition for Habeas.” 

Plaintiff’s various complaints, however, allege civil rights claims in that he complains about the 

conditions of his confinement rather than the fact of his confinement or the length of it. 

Specifically, he complains of inadequate medical care and due process violations. 

CHCF is located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. Venue for civil rights claims concerning the conditions of confinement at 

CHCF therefore lies in that district. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391. Accordingly, and in the interests of 

justice, 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). The Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith. 

Because it has construed this case as a civil rights action, the Court directs the Clerk to recode this case under the following nature of suit: “555 Prisoner: Prison Condition.” 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
