UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 
 
HENRY YEH, 
Plaintiff, 
v. 
 
BELKIN INTERNATIONAL, INC., 
Defendant. 
 

 
 
ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO 
CENTRAL DISTRICT 
ECF 21, 24, 26 
 
 
The above-captioned case was improperly filed in the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of California. Plaintiff’s claims arise from events that occurred in Los Angeles, 
California, which is located in the Central District. 
Based on the forum selection clause contained in the Wemo Terms of Use, which 
designates Los Angeles, California as the appropriate venue for disputes relating to Wemo, the 
Court finds that transfer is warranted under 28 U.S.C. §1404(a). Pursuant to N.D. Cal. L.R. 7-
3(b), Plaintiff Henry Yeh also agrees and filed a non-opposition to Defendant’s Request to 
Transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California pursuant 
to 28 U.S.C. § 1404. ECF No. 21 at 14, ECF 26. 
Accordingly, the Clerk shall TRANSFER this action to the United States District Court 
for the Central District, where proper venue lies because a substantial part of the events or 
omissions giving rise to the claims occurred there. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404(a) , 1391(b), 1406(a). 
All previously set dates are hereby VACATED. This order resolves ECF 21. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
Dated: May 11, 2026
