DARRELL EUGENE JOHNSON, Plaintiff, v. JOSIE GASTELO, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF TRANSFER RE: DKT. NO. 4
JAMES DONATO UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a detainee. Plaintiff presents allegations regarding prison conditions at California Men's Colony. California Men's Colony is located within the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiff is incarcerated in this district. Because the events for this case and defendants are located in the Central 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 Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the Court will not rule upon plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. No. 4) which is VACATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
