UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
SAVANNAH DIVISION
VALENCIA GARNER,
Plaintiff,
Case No. CV416-195

V.

UNITED STATES ATTORNEY,
et al,,
Defendants.

ORDER
Proceeding pro Se, Valencia Garner brings this action seeking to
"press charges both civil and criminal" against a host of governmental
and private defendants, none of whom reside in this district. 1 Doc. 1 at
19, 29. Her claims arise from events that occurred in Fulton County,
Georgia, which lies outside this Court's jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the proper forum for this case is the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)
Her complaint, which is largely gibberish, names as defendants: "Government
Agency" Marta/Breeze Transportation and its employees, a bus operator for
Lindbergh "Transtation," "contracted killer" Dewan Michael Smith, "adjuster"
Sylvia Chris, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, various "Government Agency and
Unknown Agents of Federal Bureau of Police and Federal Bureau of Investigations,"
"W. Crane," and Officers L. Green, C. Wingfield, V. Barnes, W. Barnes, C. Mock.
Doe. 1 at 11-13. Garner lists Atlanta area addresses for all defendants except for
Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Id.

(venue); 28 U.S.C. § 1406 (district courts may dismiss or transfer cases
suffering venue defects); 28 U.S.C. § 90. The Clerk is DIRECTED to
transfer this case to the Northern District for all further proceedings.
Given the sheer number of frivolous Garner cases listed on PACER,
the Northern District may want to take measures to protect the federal
courts from further abuse by this out-of-control litigant. See, e.g., Smith

v. Ghatham county District Office, 2016 WL 1128226 at *1 (S.D. Ga. Mar.
21, 2016).

SO ORDERED, this 15th day of November, 2016.
