FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID BENNETT,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

BUTTE COUNTY POLICE

DEPARTMENT; DISTRICT

ATTORNEY MICHAEL L.

RAMSEY,

Defendants. /

No. C 13-4554 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Dkt. 2)

Plaintiff, an inmate in the Santa Clara County Jail, filed this civil rights case under 42

U.S.C. 1983 complaining that he was falsely arrested and searched by defendants in violation of

his constitutional rights. Defendants are officials of Butte County, where they are located and

where the incidents giving rise to plaintiff’s claims occurred. Butte County is within the venue

of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Venue for this case is

therefore proper in the Eastern 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 Eastern District

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

proceed in forma pauperis (dkt. 2) is deferred to the Eastern District.

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 31 , 2013.
