COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL

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.
