United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LACHANA WILLIAMS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF KERN,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-00508-JST 

ORDER VACATING DISMISSAL AND 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES OF ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA:

This Court previously dismissed this action for want of subject matter jurisdiction on 

October 15, 2013, ECF No. 36, because Plaintiff Rupert Williams stated at a case management 

conference held October 11, 2013, that he is a resident of California. Mr. Williams has since filed 

a notice declaring that he is actually a permanent resident of New Jersey, that his service address is 

in Florida, and that he resided in Richmond, California temporarily. ECF No. 37 (October 16, 

2013). The Court’s prior order dismissing the case, ECF No. 36 is therefore VACATED. 

However, because the only remaining Defendant in this action is the Kern County Fire 

Department, which is located in the jurisdiction of the Eastern District Court of California, and 

because no party is located in this district, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to show cause 

why this action should not be transferred to the Eastern District of California pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1404 for the convenience of parties and witnesses and in the interest of justice.
