_____________________________________/
On October 20, 2016, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint against M. Irmer,
Kimberly Flener, A. Irmer, and “Jane Doe,” all of whom are alleged to be employees of Butte
County Superior Court, located in Chico, California. (Doc. 1.) According to Plaintiff, the events
giving rise to his complaint occurred in Chico, which is in Butte County. (See Doc. 1, p. 2.)
Pursuant to this Court’s Local Rule 120(d), civil actions arising in Butte County shall be
commenced in the U.S. District Court sitting in Sacramento, California.

Local Rule 120(f)

provides that “[w]henever in any action the Court finds upon its own motion, motion of any party,
or stipulation that the action has not been commenced in the proper court in accordance with this

1 Rule, or for other good cause, the Court may transfer the action to another venue within the
2 District. Because the events underlying Plaintiff’s complaint occurred in the Sacramento Division
3 of the Eastern District, the Court on its own motion transfers this case pursuant to Local Rule
4 120(f).
5

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case be transferred to the Sacramento

6 Division of the Eastern District of California.
