NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY DOYLE YOUNG,

Plaintiff,

v.

U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-03373-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

In this federal civil rights action, plaintiff Timothy Doyle Young, a federal prisoner 

who was convicted in Oregon and is housed in Colorado, raises claims arising from events 

that occurred during his detention in Colorado. Accordingly, this suit is TRANSFERRED 

to the District of Colorado wherein venue properly lies because a substantial part of the 

events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred there. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 85, 1391(b), 

and 1406(a).

The Court will quote from a judicial decision regarding a 2008 federal case Young 

filed here in the Northern District that was transferred to Colorado:

Plaintiff also maliciously and purposely has filed actions in other federal 

courts knowing, as demonstrated in the cited cases below, that venue is not 

proper and that the actions more properly are filed in this Court. See Young 

v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, et al., No. 07-cv-00343-UNA (D.D.C. Feb. 13, 2007) 

(transferred to the District of Colorado pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
