ORDER TRANSFERRING ACTION

TO THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF

CALIFORNIA

On August 12, 2010, Defendant Maria Lopez removed this action from Sacramento Superior

Court to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Notice of Removal,

ECF No. 1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446, a defendant seeking to remove a civil action from state

court must file a notice of removal in the federal district court for the district within which the action

is pending. Because this lawsuit was originally filed in Sacramento Superior Court, the proper

venue for Defendant to file her Notice of Removal is the District Court for the Eastern District of

California. See E.D. Cal. Civil L. R. 120(d). Accordingly, the Court transfers this matter to the

Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
