ALEX I. ACUNA, Plaintiff, v. MARCUS POLLARD, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF TRANSER
EDWARD J. DAVILA UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a pro se civil rights complaint against personnel at the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. Dkt. No. 1. Because the acts complained of occurred in San Diego County, which lies within the venue of the Southern District of California, see 28 U.S.C. § 84(d), and defendants likely reside in that district, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Southern District of California.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
