UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAVIER CALDERAS, et al.

Plaintiffs,

v.

MICHAEL R. POMPEO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 19cv687-LAB (MSB)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

TRANSFER VENUE [Dkt. 3]

On April 15, 2019, Plaintiffs Javier Calderas and Alexander Casasola filed this Petition 

for Writ of Mandamus against Defendants Michael Pompeo and the Department of State. Dkt. 1. 

On April 16, 2019, Plaintiffs alerted the Court that they inadvertently filed the action in this district, 

the Southern District of California, rather than the district where they reside, the Central District 

of California, Southern Division. They now move to have the case transferred. Dkt. 3. The

Court has authority to transfer a case to “any other district or division where it might have been 

brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The Court finds that transfer is appropriate here, so the clerk is 

directed to TRANSFER this case to the United States District Court for the Central District of 

California, Southern Division.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 17, 2019
