No. 15-cv-1079 LJO-GSA

ORDER TRANSFERRING ACTION 

TO THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT 

COURT, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF 

CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff, Gregory Foley, appearing pro se, filed this civil rights case pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 on July 14, 2015. (Doc. 1). A review of the complaint reveals that the events giving rise 

to this action took place in Oceanside, California, which is located in San Diego County. San 

Diego County lies within the jurisdictional boundaries of the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of California. 

Title 28 of the United States Code Section 1391(b) provides :

A civil action wherein jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity of citizenship may, 

except as otherwise provided by law, be brought only in (1) a judicial district where any 

defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the same State, (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) a judicial 

district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action 

may otherwise be brought.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is TRANSFERRED to the United 

States District Court for the Southern District of California. After transferring this case, the Clerk

of the Court shall close this action.
