WARDEN SPEARMAN, et al.,

Defendant(s).

Case No. 19-cv-03089-SK (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a prisoner incarcerated at the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad, 

California, has filed a pro se complaint for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that, while 

he was incarcerated at High Desert State Prison (HDSP), prison officials failed to protect him 

from the threat of violence from other prisoners and he was attacked and severely injured. A 

substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim(s) occurred, and the named 

and/or viable defendants reside, in Lassen County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern 

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). Venue therefore properly lies in the Eastern 

District. See id. § 1391(b).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1406(a), this action be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District 

of California. 

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
