DAVID ARTHUR DEPONTE, Plaintiff, v. JESSICA BOWMAN, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF TRANSFER
RE: DKT. NOS. 2, 9
JAMES DONATO UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff presents allegations regarding an incident that occurred at California Medical Facility. This prison is located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Plaintiff is also incarcerated in the Eastern District. Because the events for this case and defendants are located in the Eastern District, venue properly lies in that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
This case is transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff's pending motions (Dkt. No. 2, 9) which are vacated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
