Civil No. 09cv1826 L(NLS)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

TRANSFER VENUE TO THE

UNITED STATES DISTRICT

COURT, EASTERN DISTRICT OF

CALIFORNIA, SACRAMENTO

DIVISION UNDER 28 U.S.C. §

1404(a) [doc. #16]

On October 21, 2009, plaintiff Guy Cadwell filed an unopposed motion to transfer venue

to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. A class action, Von

Koenig v. Snapple Beverage Corp., 09-cv-606-FCD-EFB (E.D. Cal.), related to allegations

against defendant for false advertising had already been filed at the time plaintiff Cadwell filed

his class action complaint. 

Plaintiff filed a motion to consolidate this action with the earlier filed and related Von

Koenig case that is set for hearing before the Honorable Frank C. Damrell, Jr. on October 30,

2009. Plaintiff seeks transfer of the above-captioned case to the Eastern District of California

under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) which provides that “[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses,

in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or

division where it might have been brought.”
