Winick v. Thomas

Case Background

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant wrongfully included her in a request for a civil harassment restraining order filed in San Bernardino County.

            On September 1, 2023, Plaintiff filed her Complaint for Malicious Prosecution against Breana Thomas.

            No trial date has yet been set.

Instant Motion

            Defendant moves this court for an order transferring the case to the Riverside County Superior Court.

Decision

            The motion is GRANTED.

            The motion has not been opposed, and Plaintiff’s complaint indicates that she wishes the case to proceed either here or in Riverside County. Code of Civil Procedure § 395(a) provides that the proper venue is the county where the defendant resides, and it is undisputed that Defendant Breana Thomas resides in Riverside County.
