UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARK RICHARD WELLS,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-2575-KJN

ORDER

Plaintiff Mark Wells, represented by counsel, initially commenced this social security 

action in the Sacramento division of this district. (ECF No. 1.) However, upon closer review, the 

complaint alleges that plaintiff is a resident of Porterville, California, which is located in Tulare 

County. Thus, the action should have been commenced in the Fresno division of this district. 

See E.D. Cal. L.R. 120(d). As such, transfer of the action to the Fresno division is appropriate. 

E.D. Cal. L.R. 120(f).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is TRANSFERRED to the 

Fresno division of this district. 

Dated: January 18, 2017
