KEVIN PRICE, Plaintiff, v. DAVID HOLBROOK, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF TRANSFER
NATHANAEL M. COUSINS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner at Ironwood State Prison (“ISP”) in Blythe, California, filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against the Warden of ISP and medical personnel. Dkt. No. 1. The complaint seeks damages for deliberate indifference to serious medical needs and related state law claims. Id. at 5-6. Because the acts complained of occurred in Riverside County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern Division of the Central District of California, see 28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(1), 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 Eastern Division of the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Central District of California.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
