UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VESTER L. PATTERSON,

Case No. 24-cv-01425-RFL

Plaintiff,
ORDER OF TRANSFER

v.
SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES
COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.

Vester Patterson sues the Los Angeles County Superior Court and the County of Los
Angeles for administrative actions taken in conjunction with his criminal trial. (See generally
Dkt. No. 4.) As relief, Patterson seeks a declaration that the Los Angeles County Superior
Court’s administrative practices are unconstitutional. (See id. at 4.)
Los Angeles County lies within the Central District of California. 28 U.S.C. § 84(c).
Because the only defendants accused of harming Patterson reside in that District, and it is where
the events complained of occurred, the Central District is the proper venue for this lawsuit. 28
U.S.C. § 1391(b). It is also the venue that appears the most convenient for the parties and
witnesses. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, this lawsuit is TRANSFERRED to the United
States District Court for the Central District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer the case forthwith, and to close the file for
this lawsuit in this District.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 26, 2024
RITA F. LIN
United States District Judge
