VAUGHN R. WALKER, United States District Judge.
Plaintiff, a prisoner currently incarcerated at California State Prison, Sacramento, has filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seeking declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief from California Department of Corrections Director E. Alameda, Chief of Inmate Appeals L. L. Rianda and Appeals Examiner K. Allen. Plaintiff alleges that the named defendants showed deliberate indifference to his safety in the way they handled his administrative appeal from Salinas Valley State Prison at the Director' level of review in Sacramento.
After a careful review of the complaint and attachments, the court finds that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to plaintiff's claim occurred, and that all three named defendants reside, in the County of Sacramento, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84 (b). Venue therefore best lies in the Eastern District. See id § 1391(b).
Accordingly. IT IS ORDERED that in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406 (a) this action be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
The Clerk shall transfer tills matter and terminate all pending motions as moot.
