MANFRED SCHIELD,

v.

HATFIELD, Sacramento County Sheriff’s 

Deputy # 692,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01482-LJO-GSA

ORDER TRANSFERRING ACTION 

TO SACRAMENTO DIVISION

This action was filed on September 30, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) A review of the complaint 

reveals that the events giving rise to this action took place in Sacramento, California and lie 

within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Sacramento Division of the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).

Title 28 of the United States Code Section 1391(b) provides:

A civil action wherein jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity of citizenship 

may, except as otherwise provided by law, 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.

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a court may transfer an action to another venue within the

district when the action has not been commenced in the proper court. The Court is transferring 

this action to the Sacramento Division of the Eastern District of California because the defendant 

Plaintiff has named resides in Sacramento County. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(1). Moreover, as 

previously noted, the actions giving rise to Plaintiff’s complaint all arose in Sacramento County. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2). Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 

TRANSFERRED to the Sacramento Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
