A parcel originating in a district does not establish venue under § 1391(b) when the allegations giving rise to the action are tied to another district.

MEYERS v. POSTMASTER GENERAL OF U.S. POSTAL SERVICE · filed 2023-08-28(b)

Here, the only connection to this District is a fleeting mention of one allegedly missing parcel, among many, originating in New Jersey. ECF No. 1 at 4. The other allegations—the alleged assault of Plaintiff, other missing parcels, and the litany of other allegations—appear tied to Plaintiff’s incarceration in the Eastern District of Virginia. Given Plaintiff’s most recent allegations of imminent harm, see, e.g., ECF No., 1 at 3, the Court will transfer this action to the Eastern District of Virginia, and defer to that District as to any determination regarding the IFP application or complaint.

Specifically, the Court finds that Kaman has shown a prima facie case that venue is proper in this District, due to the parties’ communications and negotiations between Montana and Connecticut and Kaman’s partial performance from Connecticut.
