IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT CARL GORSKI, No. 2:16-CV-2109-KJM-CMK

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

COUNTY OF MARIN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil action. 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 Marin County, which is within the boundaries of the United States District Court for the

Northern 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.
