Defendants, who are prison industry employees, appear to reside there as well. Venue, therefore, 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 Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). In view of the transfer, the court will not rule upon Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
