Defendants are located at the High Desert State Prison ("HDSP"), where plaintiff was formerly incarcerated and the events that give rise to plaintiff's claims are alleged to have taken place. HDSP lies within the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Venue for this case is therefore proper in the Eastern District. See 28 U.S.C. 1391. Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), 1406(a). The application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") is deferred to the Eastern District. The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
