ORDER

Defendants move to transfer this action to the Southern 

District of California pursuant to 28 USC § 1404(a). Doc #27; see

also 28 USC § 1404(a) (“For the convenience of parties and

witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may

transfer any civil action to any other district where it might have

been brought.”). Plaintiffs do not oppose transfer. Doc #33. 

Because the court finds this matter suitable for determination

without oral argument, the motion hearing set for May 3, 2007, at

2:00 pm is VACATED. See Civ L R 7-1(b).

All events giving rise to this matter occurred in San

Diego, California. Doc #29, ¶ 5(b). Moreover, most percipient

witnesses in this matter (including plaintiffs) reside in the

Southern District of California, id, ¶ 5(a); none resides in the

Northern District of California, id, ¶¶ 3-4. Accordingly, for the

convenience of parties and witnesses, this action is TRANSFERRED to

the Southern District of California for further proceedings. The

clerk is DIRECTED to close the file and terminate all motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
