IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES ADAMS, CASE NO. CV F 06-1642 OWW LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER TO TRANSFER ACTION

vs.

AMERIPROS AUTOBODY SHOP,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff Charles Adams (“plaintiff”) proceeds pro se in this purported civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b), a civil action (other than one based on diversity

jurisdiction) may be brought only in: (1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants

reside in the same state; (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions

giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of the property that is the subject of the action is

situated; or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which

the action may otherwise be brought. In the interest of justice, a federal court may transfer a complaint

filed in the wrong district to the correct district. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Starnes v. McGuire, 512 F.2d

918, 932 (D.C. Cir. 1974). 

Plaintiff’s complaint indicates that his claims arose in Los Angeles. In addition, the defendant

appears to reside or is domiciled in Los Angeles. Therefore, this action should have been filed in the

United States District Court for the Central District of California, this Court TRANSFERS this action
