### In addition, Complainant moves to cha:nge the venue ofthis hearing from San Francisco, California, to Sacramento, California, based on Respondent's location and the location ofthe witnesses.

Thus, Sacramento is a significantly more convenienthearing location for the parties and the witnesses.

Complainant also respectfully requests thatthe hea:ring location be changed from SanFrancisco, Califomia, to Sacramento, California. Respectfully submitted, NAOMI TSUDA
