Plaintiff,

ORDER

PETER KAMPA, et al.,

Defendants.

On November 16, 2017, plaintiff, proceeding without counsel, filed this action in the
Sacramento division of this district. (ECF No. 1.)

20

Upon further review of the record, it appears that plaintiff resides in the City of

21

Hornbrook in Siskiyou County, California. Therefore, the proper intra-district venue for this

22

action is the Redding division of this court. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 120 & Appendix A(l). The

23

undersigned will therefore direct that the action be reassigned to Magistrate Judge Craig M.

24

Kellison in the Redding division for purposes of all appropriate pre-trial proceedings and other

25

magistrate judge duties in this case. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 120(f) (“Whenever in any action the

26

Court finds upon its own motion...that the action has not been commenced in the proper court in

27

accordance with this Rule, or for other good cause, the Court may transfer the action to another

28

venue within the District”). However, because all parties have not consented to proceed before a
1

1

magistrate judge for all purposes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), and there is no district judge in

2

the Redding division, the case shall otherwise remain assigned to Judge Troy L. Nunley.

3

For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1.

The Clerk of Court shall REASSIGN the action to Magistrate Judge Craig M.

5

Kellison in the Redding division of this district for purposes of all appropriate pre-trial

6

proceedings and other magistrate judge duties, and shall appropriately re-designate the case.

7

2.

The action shall remain assigned to Judge Troy L. Nunley as district judge for all

8

other purposes.
