CIVIL ACTION
NO. 11-3050

ORDER
AND NOW, this 29th day of February, 2012, upon consideration of the Motions to
Dismiss or Transfer Venue filed by Defendant Farmers and Merchants Trust Company [Doc. No.
16] and Defendant Union Bank, N.A. [Doc. No. 17], and Plaintiff’s response in opposition
thereto, and for the reasons stated in the Memorandum Opinion filed this day, the Court finds
that it lacks personal jurisdiction over moving Defendants; however, having concluded that
venue is proper in the Central District of California, and that justice requires transfer of this
action, rather than dismissal, it is hereby ORDERED that the Motions are GRANTED in part
and DENIED in part as follows: (1) the Motions to Dismiss are DENIED; (2) the Motions to
Transfer are GRANTED; and (3) the above-captioned matter is TRANSFERRED to the United
States District Court for the Central District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1406(a).
It is so ORDERED.
BY THE COURT:
