U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Text
Upon a Judge's own motion or the motion of any party, unless the case was specially assigned pursuant to the Assignment Plan, a Judge may order the Clerk to transfer a criminal case to a different courthouse if it appears that the case was not properly assigned under Crim. L.R. 18- 1(a), (b), (c) or (d) or that a transfer would be in the interest of justice based upon the convenience of the defendant and the witnesses and the prompt administration of justice. Cross Reference See 18 U.S.C. § 3236 (trial of homicide shall be in county in which the offense occurred).
