DAVIS, Plaintiff, v. UNKNOWN, Defendant.
ORDER OF TRANSFER
LISA J. CISNEROS United States Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, a civil detainee housed at California State Prison, Sacramento (SAC) proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that his constitutional rights are violated by his being held “in prison around criminals.” ECF 7 at 2. He has not named any defendant. Because plaintiff complains of acts that occurred or are occurring in Sacramento County, which is located in the Eastern District of California, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The Clerk shall transfer the case forthwith.
Venue transfer is a non-dispositive matter and, thus, it falls within the scope of the jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
