UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PACIFIC WEALTH MANAGEMENT, LLC,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 12-cv-1097-MMA (WVG)

NOTICE AND ORDER

PROVIDING TENTATIVE

RULING REGARDING

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO

TRANSFER VENUE

[Doc. No. 5]

vs.

HENRY M. KORNGUT,

Defendant.

Currently pending before the Court is Defendant Henry Korngut’s motion to transfer venue

to the Northern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). [Doc. No. 5.] Having

considered the submissions of the parties, the Court tentatively GRANTS Defendant’s motion. 

The Court tentatively finds venue improper in the Southern District of California, as

Plaintiff has not sufficiently demonstrated a substantial part of the events giving rise to Plaintiff’s

claim occurred here. Instead, it appears that venue is proper in the Northern District, where

Defendant resides and operates his company. 

The parties are advised that this ruling is tentative and the Court will entertain additional

argument at the hearing on October 1, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 28, 2012

Hon. Michael M. Anello

United States District Judge
