Plaintiff Kathleen Burks, appearing pro se in this employment discrimination action against

17

the Secretary of the Interior, moves to transfer the case to the United States District Court, Eastern

18

District of California. According to the motion, the events at issue, the witnesses, and the other

19

relevant evidence occurred within or are located in the Eastern District, and transfer would serve

20

both the convenience of the parties and the interests of justice. See 28 U.S.C. § 1404. The

21

government, which has not answered the complaint but makes a special appearance solely for

22

purposes of responding to the instant motion, does not oppose transfer and agrees that the Eastern

23

District is the proper venue for these proceedings. Accordingly, the motion is granted. The Clerk is

24

directed to transfer the file to the Eastern District of California for further proceedings.
