Warren A. Nelson v. The People

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA WARREN A. NELSON, Case No. 25-cv-08696-RFL Petitioner, y. ORDER OF TRANSFER Re: Dkt. No. 3 THE PEOPLE, Respondent.

Petitioner Warren Nelson’s claims arise from the conduct of criminal proceedings in Los Angeles County (Superior Court Case Number TA098143), which lies in the Central District of California. (Dkt. No. | at 1; People v. Nelson, No. B221843, 2011 WL 3572157 (Cal. Ct. App. Aug. 16, 2011).) Nelson contends that a gang enhancement was improperly applied to him, citing his gang classification history while in prison, and seeks a reduction in his sentence.

Accordingly, this action is TRANSFERRED to the Central District of California, where venue properly lies because a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred there. See 28 U.S.C. $§ 84(c)(2), 1391(b), and 1406(a). The Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith. The pending motion (Dkt. No. 3) is VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
