Additionally, it appears that Plaintiff will be unable to establish that venue is proper in this
district. See Piedmont Label Co. v. Sun Garden Packing Co., 598 F.2d 491, 496 (9th Cir. 1979).
Venue in a civil action is proper in “a judicial district in which any defendant resides, if all
defendants are residents of the State in which the district is located,” or “a judicial district in which
a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part
of property that is the subject of the action is situated.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).
