Plaintiff, 

v. 

ACTING COMMISSIONER CAROLYN

ADMINISTRATION, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-0459 AC 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, seeks judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner 

of Social Security (“Commissioner”), denying an application for disability benefits under Title II 

of the Social Security Act. ECF No. 1. Under the venue statute governing this action, plaintiff 

may obtain a review of any final decision of the Commissioner made after a hearing to which the 

plaintiff was a party, by commencing a civil action in the federal district court for the judicial 

district in which the claimant resides. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). According to his complaint, plaintiff 

resides in Santa Cruz, California, which is located in Santa Cruz County, California. That county 

is located in the region served by the United States District Court for the Northern District of 

California. 28 U.S.C. § 84(a). The complaint therefore should have been filed in that District.
