IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLAUDE MILLER,

Plaintiff,

 v.

S. GOODMEN,

Defendants. /

No. C 10-00983 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

and filed an in forma pauperis application.

When jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity, venue is proper in the district in which

(1) any defendant resides, if all of the defendants reside in the same State, (2) the district in which a

substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of

property that is the subject of the action is situated, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant

may be found, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1391(b). 

The acts complained of occurred at the California Institution for Men, which is located in the

Eastern Division of the Central District of California, and it appears that the Defendants reside in

that district. Venue, therefore, properly lies in that district and not in this one. See id. 

Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is

TRANSFERRED to the Eastern Division of the United States District Court for the Central District

of California. The Clerk of the Court shall transfer the case forthwith. All remaining motions are

TERMINATED on this Court's docket as no longer pending in this district.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 3/15/10
