UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

VANCE S. ELLIOTT, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF 

SUPERVISORS, 

 Defendant. 

Case No: C 09-1397 SBA 

Related to: C 08-2352 SBA 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE 

AND MOTION FOR SUMMARY 

JUDGMENT

On September 19, 2009, the Court denied Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma 

pauperis and dismissed the instant action, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), on the ground that 

it was duplicative of his prior action, C 08-2352 SBA, which the Court previously dismissed. 

On February 18, 2010, Plaintiff filed two motions in this case to change venue from Oakland to 

San Francisco. (Docket 20, 21.) Because this action has already been dismissed, these motions 

are DENIED as moot. 

Plaintiff has also filed a “Motion for Summary Judgment.” (Docket 22.) However, this 

motion does little more than reargue Plaintiff’s claim that San Francisco’s Single Room 

Occupancy policy is unconstitutional. That issue was addressed and rejected in the prior 

action, C 08-2352 SBA. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 

This Order terminates Docket Nos. 20, 21 and 22. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March 15, 2010 _______________________________
