NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISON

EZRA JOHN ADAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

LEROY GARCIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-7240-NJV (PR)

ORDER VACATING PRIOR ORDER, 

REPOPENING CASE AND 

TRANSFERING CASE

Dkt. Nos. 4, 9

The court's order of February 28, 2017, dismissing this case was entered in error. 

Accordingly, that order is HEREBY VACATED and the Clerk shall reopen the case.

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff raises claims 

regarding property that was seized during his 1988 prosecution in San Diego County Superior 

Court. The only defendant is a Sheriff in San Diego County. San Diego County lies within the 

venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Venue, therefore, 

properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). This case is 

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. See

28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). The motions to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Nos. 4, 9) are 

VACATED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 28, 2017
