Opinion

Civil Action No. 10-cv-00834-ZLW.

April 21, 2010


ORDER


Applicant, Jerry L. Maske, acting pro se filed seven separate Letters with the Court on April 19 and 20, 2010, (Doc. Nos. 5-11). In several of the Letters, Mr. Maske requests that the Court "move [his] cases to a United States District Court that is not associated with the State of Colorado." Mr. Maske seeks a transfer of his cases because he believes that he has been treated unfairly by the Court.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 a transfer of a case to a different federal court is within the sound judicial discretion of a trial judge. Stewart Organization, Inc. v. Ricoh Corp. , 487 U.S. 22, 29 (1988); Texas E. Transmission Corp. v. Marine Office-Appleton Cox Corp. , 579 F.2d 561, 567 (10th Cir. 1978). An action may be transferred under § 1404(a) at any time during the pendency of a case and even after judgment has been entered. See Chrysler Credit Corp. v. Country Chrysler, Inc. , 928 F.2d 1509, 1516 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing 15 C. Wright, A. Miller E. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure § 3844 at 334-35 (1986)). Nothing in Mr. Maske's request, however, justifies a transfer of this case under § 1404. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that Mr. Maske's request for a transfer of this case to any other federal district is denied.
