Case No. 17-cv-03666-WHO (PR)
ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.,
Defendants.

15

The claims plaintiff Gary Dale Barger raises in this civil rights complaint arise from

16

events that occurred in the Eastern and Central Districts. Because most of the events

17

occurred in the Eastern District, the action will be transferred there. Whether the Central

18

District claims remain part of this action is a decision committed to the sound discretion of

19

the Eastern District. Accordingly, this action is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of

20

California wherein venue properly lies because a substantial part of the events or

21

omissions giving rise to the claims occurred, and the named defendants reside, in the

22

Eastern District. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 84(b), 1391(b), and 1406(a). The Clerk shall transfer

23

this action forthwith.
