UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 
 
MOHAMED MOUSA, 
Plaintiff, 
v. 
 
ROBERT LUNA, et al., 
Defendants. 
 

 
 
ORDER OF TRANSFER 
 
 
 
Mohamed Mousa, a detainee in county jail in Los Angeles proceeding pro se, filed a civil 
rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 regarding conditions at the jail. 
When jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity, venue is proper in the district in 
which (1) any defendant resides, if all of the defendants reside in the same State, (2) the 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, or (3) a judicial district in 
which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be 
brought. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 
The acts complained of in Mousa’s complaint occurred in Los Angeles County, which is 
located in the Central District of California. Defendants are also located in Los Angeles County. 
Venue, therefore, lies properly in the Central District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). 
Accordingly, in the interest of justice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this action is 
transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Clerk of 
the Court shall terminate all motions and transfer the case forthwith. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
Dated: June 5, 2026
