Plaintiff’s lawsuit was commenced on February 11, 2010 in

the Sacramento Division of this Court. The Complaint indicates

that Plaintiff is a resident of Merced County, California, and

while the Complaint is silent with respect to Defendant Quebecor

World’s location, it appears likely that Plaintiff worked for

Quebecor World in Merced County. 

Merced County is part of the Fresno Division of the United

States Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local

Rule 120(d). Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), any civil action

which has not been commenced in the proper court may, on the

Court’s own motion, be transferred to the proper division.

Because the Court suspects that all actions relevant to this

lawsuit occurred within Merced County, intradistrict transfer to

Fresno would appear appropriate. Plaintiff is ordered to show

cause why such transfer should not occur. Plaintiff is directed

to respond to this Order to Show Cause not later than Friday,

March 5, 2010. Unless good cause is demonstrated for retaining

the case in Sacramento, the Court will order the matter

transferred to the Court’s Fresno Division without further

notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 26, 2010
