IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENE PRICE,

Plaintiff,

v.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:24-CV-3700-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. For cases such as this, which are based on federal question jurisdiction, the 

federal venue statute requires that the action 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. See

28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Here, the claim(s) arose in Los Angeles County, which is within the 

boundaries of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Therefore, 

the Court finds that this action most appropriately proceeds in that district. In the interest of 

justice, the Court will transfer this case. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
