ORDER OF TRANSFER
RE: DKT. NO. 2
ROBERT M. ILLMAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff presents allegations pertaining to events that occurred at three different prisons. Two of the prisons, Mule Creek State Prison and the California Health Care Facility, are located in the Eastern District of California. The third prison, Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, is in the Southern District of California. The majority of the acts underlying this civil rights complaint occurred in the Eastern District; also, most of the named Defendants are located in the Eastern District. Venue, therefore, 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 Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
