ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a prisoner at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, California, has

filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A substantial part of the

events or omissions giving rise to the claim(s) occurred, and the defendants named

reside, in the County of Fresno, 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 and terminate all pending motions (see, e.g.,

doc #2) as moot.

SO ORDERED.
