At paragraph 28, Plaintiff alleges that the aircraft at 1

issue in this case was delivered to Plaintiff at Oakdale,

California, another city located within Stanislaus County.

of citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Plaintiff asserts

that venue is proper because he resides within the Eastern

District of California and because a “substantial part of the

events and/or omissions on which the claim is based occurred in

this District.” Id. at ¶ 9. As indicated above, however,

Plaintiff is alleged to reside at Modesto, California and there

is no indication that the circumstances underlying this lawsuit

occurred outside of Stanislaus County.1

 Stanislaus County is part of the Fresno Division of the

United States Court for the Eastern District of California. See

Local Rule 3-120(d).

Pursuant to Local Rule 3-120(f), any civil action which has

not been commenced in the proper court may, on the court’s own

motion, be transferred to the proper court. Therefore this

action will be transferred to the Fresno Division of the court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 30, 2005
