Defendants.
___________________________________/

Harold B. Hicks, III, an inmate at the Weld County Jail in Greeley, Colorado, filed this pro
15
se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of events and omissions that occurred at
16
that jail. The jail is located within the venue of the District of Colorado. The Defendants work at
17
that jail, and apparently reside in the District of Colorado. No Defendant is alleged to reside in, and
18
none of the events or omissions giving rise to the complaint occurred in, the Northern District of
19
California. Venue therefore would be proper in the District of Colorado, and not in this one. See 28
20
U.S.C. §§ 85, 1391(b). Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a),
21
this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The
22
Clerk shall transfer this matter.
23
IT IS SO ORDERED.
