ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Plaintiff Jerome L. Grimes, a pro se prisoner currently housed in the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Riverside County, filed the instant civil rights suit on November 5, 2025. See ECF No. 1. The events or omissions giving rise to Grimes’ claims occurred in Banning, California, located in the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(1). Venue is therefore appropriate in that district. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(1), (b)(2).

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to the Grimes filing his case in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

The Clerk is requested to terminate all pending motions and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
