No. C 16-5379 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. No. 4)

Plaintiff is a California prisoner incarcerated at the Atascadero State Hospital (“ASH”)

rights at ASH. Atascadero is located in San Luis Obispo County, which is in the venue of the

United States District Court for the Central District of California. 28 U.S.C. 84(c). Venue for

civil rights claims concerning the conditions of his confinement at Atascadero is therefore

proper in the Central 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 Central District of

California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). In light of this transfer, ruling on the application

for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is deferred to the Central District. 

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 29 , 2016.
