ONYEJE (M.D.); et al., 12 ORDER OF TRANSFER Defendants. ___________________________________/ 13 14 Steven Dean Parks filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining 15 of events or omissions that occurred during his incarceration at the California Substance 16 Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran, California in 2010. Corcoran is in Kings County, 17 within the venue of the Eastern District of California. The defendants are employed at that 18 prison and apparently reside in the Eastern District of California. No defendant is alleged to 19 reside in, and none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the 20 Northern District. Venue therefore would be proper in the Eastern District and not in this 21 one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 22 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the 23 Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter. 24 IT IS SO ORDERED. 25 26 27 28 Dated: June 15, 2011 _________________________ EDWARD M. CHEN United States District Judge
