Walker v. University of Colorado - Board of Regents

Filing 104

MINUTE ORDER denying 101 Plaintiff's renewed Request for Change of Venue, by Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty on 8/18/2010. (mehcd)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 09-cv-01690-PAB-MEH GEORGE W. WALKER, Plaintiff, v. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOARD OF REGENTS, Defendant. MINUTE ORDER Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on August 18, 2010. The Plaintiff's renewed Request for a Change of Venue under § 1404 (F.R.C.P.) [sic] in the Interest of Justice [filed August 16, 2010; docket #101] is denied. The Plaintiff seeks to transfer this case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco; however, appellate courts do not take matters at the initial trial stage (such as here), but only upon appeal from a lower court's judgment. There has been no final order and judgment in this case. Moreover, the Plaintiff has failed to indicate how this forum is inconvenient and to state whether a court in another district would have personal jurisdiction over the parties in this matter. See Chrysler Credit Corp. v. Country Chrysler, Inc., 928 F.2d 1509, 1515-16 (10th Cir. 1991).
