Plaintiff,
vs.
ORDER
WILLIAM MARION, et al.,
Defendants.
/
17
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil action. For cases such as this,
18
which are based on federal question jurisdiction, the federal venue statute requires that the action
19
be brought only in (1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside in
20
the same State, (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving
21
rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is
22
situated, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in
23
which the action may otherwise be brought. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Here, the claim(s) arose
24
in Lincoln County, Wyoming, which is within the boundaries of the United States District Court
25
for the District of Wyoming. Therefore, the court finds that this action most appropriately
26
proceeds in that district. In the interest of justice, the court will transfer this case. See 28 U.S.C.
