WAYNE ELIJAH JONES, Plaintiff, v. RICHARD J. DONOVAN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY PROGRAM OFFICE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF TRANSFER
NATHANAEL M. COUSINS, United States Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff, a state prisoner at the Richard S. Donovan Correctional Facility (“RSD”) in San Diego, California, filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against RSD staff for unconstitutional acts. Dkt. No. 1. 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.
