UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

In Re KENNETH GIBBS,

Plaintiff, 

Case No. 15-cv-1919-TEH 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at 

California State Prison - Los Angeles (“CSP-LA”), wrote a letter 

to the Court regarding prison conditions. In an effort to 

protect his rights, it was filed as a new case. Plaintiff has 

submitted an additional filing with the Court and the substance 

of his claims involve his transfer from Folsom Prison to CSP-LA 

and his later treatment at CSP-LA. Folsom Prison lies in the 

Eastern District of California and CSP-LA lies in the Central 

District of California. The majority of Plaintiff’s claims 

involve CSP-LA and none of the subject matter occurred in this 

district. 

Thus, the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff’s 

claims occurred in the Central District of California. See 28 

U.S.C. § 84(b). Venue therefore properly lies in the Central 

District. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
