UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANTHONY FERRANTINO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO COUNTY OFFICE OF 

EDUCATION, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 20-cv-00819-JSC 

SECTION 1915 SCREENING OF 

COMPLAINT; ORDER TO SHOW 

CAUSE 

Re: Dkt. No. 1 

Anthony Ferrantino sues the Sacramento County Office of Education (“Sacramento 

County”) for alleged wage discrimination under the Equal Pay Act (“EPA”), 29 U.S.C. 206(d). 

(Dkt. No. 1.)1

 Having granted Mr. Ferrantino’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, (see Dkt. 

No. 4), the Court now screens the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and orders Mr. 

Ferrantino to show cause why this case should not be transferred to the Easter District of 

California because venue is improper in this District. 

“Venue” for purposes of a civil action is proper in: 

(1) a judicial district in which any defendant resides, if all 

defendants are residents of the State in which the district is located; 

(2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or 

omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of 

property that is the subject of the action is situated; or 

(3) if there is no district in which an action may otherwise be 

brought as provided in this section, any judicial district in which any 

defendant is subject to the court’s personal jurisdiction with respect 

to such action.

United States District Court 

Northern District of Californi

a

28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Mr. Ferrantino’s complaint asserts federal question jurisdiction under the 

EPA, bringing a claim against Sacramento County for alleged employment discrimination arising 

out of Mr. Ferrantino’s work as a substitute teacher for Sacramento County. (Dkt. No. 1 at 4-5.) 

Thus, the defendant resides in Sacramento County, California and the events giving rise to this 

action occurred in Sacramento County, California. 

 Accordingly, Mr. Ferrantino is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why this case should not 

be transferred to the Eastern District of California. Mr. Ferrantino shall respond to this Order by 

April 29, 2020. If Mr. Ferrantino does not do so, or if his response does not demonstrate why 

venue is proper in this District, the Court will transfer the case to the Eastern District of California. 

The Court encourages Mr. Ferrantino to seek free assistance from the Northern District’s Legal 

Help Center, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 15th Floor, Room 2796, San Francisco, CA 94102. Mr. 

Ferrantino can make an appointment in person or by calling (415) 792-8982. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 15, 2020
