The above-captioned case was improperly filed in the United States District Court for the

Northern District of California. Plaintiff's claims arise from events that occurred in Imperial
17
County, which is in the Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(d) ("The Southern
18
District comprises the counties of Imperial and San Diego"). Accordingly, the Clerk shall
19
TRANSFER this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California,
