Summary

Applicant Eriq Fitzpatrick, acting in pro per, sought reconsideration of a March 22, 2023 Order denying his Petition for Change of Venue from the Long Beach District Office to the Los Angeles District Office due to transportation issues. The presiding judge had denied the request because defendant agreed to provide transportation to trial. The Board held that an order denying a change of venue is not a final order, so reconsideration was improper; it dismissed the petition for reconsideration and treated it as a petition for removal. Finding the trial record inadequate under Hamilton because the venue issue and stipulations were not framed and no evidence was admitted, the Board granted removal, rescinded the Order, and returned the matter to the trial level for development of the record on the venue issue.
