On April 18, 2014, Plaintiff initiated an action that is currently pending in the Central 

District of California, Diamond v. City of Los Angeles, Case No. 14-cv-3825, related to a 

December 29, 2012 encounter with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department at a Los 

Angeles-area McDonald’s Restaurant. On July 8, 2015, Plaintiff filed this action, which appears 

to be related to the same incident. Plaintiff alleges that all Parties are residents of Los Angeles 

County and that “[e]ach of the acts of defendants alleged in this complaint were done by 

defendants under the pretense of law and ordinances, regulations, customs, and usages of the State 

of California, City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, and under authority of their 

business license issued by the City and County of Los Angeles.” (Cmplt. at 2.) Accordingly, 

Plaintiff is ordered to show cause why this case should not be transferred to the Central District of 

California. Plaintiff’s written response to this order shall be filed no later than August 12, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
