Plaintiff has named Defendants Tehama County, Richard Scheuler, and Irene Rodriguez, all of whom reside in Tehama County. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(1). Thus, no defendants reside in a county in this division. Moreover, the actions giving rise to Plaintiff's complaint all arose in Tehama County. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2). Venue would be improper in the Fresno division because only Plaintiff is a resident within this division. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is TRANSFERRED to the Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:
May 7, 2010
