Examination of Plaintiff’s Complaint shows that Plaintiff

does business in Tuolumne County as a business engaged in

residential and commercial moving. Plaintiff sues Transguard, an

insurance company, in connection with its denial of coverage for

a fire damage claim asserted by Plaintiff’s business. As

indicated, Plaintiff filed suit in Tuolumne County as a result of

Transguard’s alleged breach of contract in that regard.

 Tuolumne County is part of the Fresno Division of the

United States Court for the Eastern District of California. See

Local Rule 3-120(d). All civil actions arising in Tuolumne

County shall be commenced in Fresno. Id.

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: April 23, 2007
