The court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte’s Report and

15

Recommendation advising that this action be transferred to the Central District of California. Dkt.

16

No 10 at 2. The Magistrate Judge found that this case involves the same facts as, and relates to,

17

Diamond v. City of Los Angeles, Case No. 14-cv-3825, currently pending in the Central District of

18

California. Id. at 1. The time to file objections to the Report and Recommendation has passed and

19

plaintiff has not objected. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Magistrate Judge

20

Laporte’s Report is well-reasoned, and the Court adopts it in its entirety.

21

For the reasons stated in Magistrate Judge Laporte’s Report, transfer to the Central District

22

of California, where the case could have been brought, will serve the convenience of the parties

23

and witnesses and is in the interests of justice. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), the Court

24

transfers this action to the Central District of California. The Clerk will close the case.
