On February 24, 2012, Defendant Daniel Gonzales removed this action from Stanislaus County

17

Superior Court to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Notice of

18

Removal, ECF No. 1.1 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446, a defendant seeking to remove a civil action

19

from a state court must file a notice of removal in the federal district court for the district within

20

which the action is pending. Because this lawsuit was originally filed in Stanislaus County Superior

21

Court, the proper venue for Defendant to file his notice of removal is the District Court for the

22

Eastern District of California. See E.D. Cal. Civil L. R. 120(d). Accordingly, the Court transfers

23

this matter to the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division.
