On May 31, 2011, Plaintiff Santokh Singh Dhariwal filed an immigration action against

18

Defendants. Complaint, ECF No. 1. Mr. Dhariwal lives in Santa Clara county and, according to the

19

complaint, a substantial portion of the events that give rise to the lawsuit occurred in Santa Clara

20

county. Id. at ¶ 4. Consequently, Mr. Dhariwal requested that the clerk assign this matter to the San

21

Jose division. Id. After reviewing the complaint and the civil cover sheet (indicating Mr.

22

Dhariwal’s preference for assignment to the San Jose division), the court finds that this matter’s

23

appropriate intra-district assignment is San Jose. See Civ. L.R. 3-2(e). Accordingly, the clerk shall

24

reassign this action to a judge in the San Jose division pursuant to the court’s Assignment Plan.
