Disposition notice
On October 15, 2026, Magistrate Judge Allison Claire of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ordered this matter transferred to the Western Division of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in No. 2:26-cv-3531 DAD AC (PS). The order states that the pro se plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, but its operative disposition addresses transfer rather than a ruling on that application. The court explained that most named defendants with identified residences were listed in Los Angeles County, two of the five properties at issue were located there, and the complaint challenged and sought relief from a Los Angeles Superior Court order. Applying the federal venue statute, the court concluded the case could have been filed in Los Angeles County, which is located in the Western Division of the Central District of California, and cited 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) as authority to transfer a case filed in the wrong district, ordering transfer in the interest of justice.
