ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Fresno division of this district.
