AMTRAK,

Case No. 22-cv-05108 NC
ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO
THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT,
EASTERN DISTRICT OF
CALIFORNIA, SACRAMENTO
DIVISION

15

According to the Amended Complaint filed by self-represented Plaintiff Demas

16

Rubino, Mr. Rubino fell and fractured his wrist while exiting an Amtrak train at the

17

Fairfield Train Depot. Dkt. No. 15. Fairfield is in Solano County, within the jurisdictional

18

boundaries of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento

19

Division. Mr. Rubino also lives in Vacaville, within the Eastern District of California.

20

Under the general rules of venue, a civil action may be brought in a judicial district

21

in which a “substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred.”

22

28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2). And under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), the Court may transfer any civil

23

action to any other district where it might have been brought, in the interest of justice.

24

Here, the Court has determined that the interest of justice, and convenience of the

25

parties and witnesses, is best served by transferring the case to the Eastern District of

26

California, Sacramento Division. Neither party objected to the proposed transfer when

27

discussing the case at the January 18 case management conference.

28

The Clerk of Court is therefore ordered to transfer this case to the U.S. District

Case 5:22-cv-05108-NC Document 22 Filed 01/18/23 Page 2 of 2

Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division, and to provide notice of

2

the transfer to the parties. The case in the Northern District of California will then be

3

administratively closed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
