United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN ONTIVEORS,

Plaintiff,

v.

ST. CLAIR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02719-WHO (PR) 

ORDER REOPENING ACTION;

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This federal civil rights action was dismissed because plaintiff Martin Ontiveors 

failed to comply with the Court’s instructions to file a complaint. He has since filed one. 

Accordingly, the action is REOPENED, and the Clerk shall modify the docket to reflect 

this. The judgment (Docket No. 16) and the order of dismissal (Docket No. 15) are 

VACATED. 

Ontiveors’s claims arise from events that occurred at the Sierra Conservation Center 

in Tuolumne County, which is in Eastern District. Accordingly, this action is 

TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of California, where venue properly lies because a 

substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred there and 

because the named defendants reside there. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 84(b), 1391(b), and 1406(a). 

The Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 13, 2015
