GALE J. YOUNG, Plaintiff, v. OFFICER HERREA, Defendant.
ORDER OF TRANSER
EDWARD J. DAVILA UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a pro se civil rights complaint against a correctional officer at Corcoran State Prison (“CSP”), where he was formerly housed, for unconstitutional acts. Dkt. No. 1 at 1-2. CSP is located in Kings County. Because the acts complained of occurred in Kings County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California, see 28 U.S.C. § 84(b), 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 District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the Eastern District of California.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
