     PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that __[e.g., defendant]__, __[name]__,
moves the Court under Code of Civil Procedure section(s) __[396b
and]__ 397 for an order transferring this case from this Court to
the __[name of court]__ of California, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ County,
for trial. The grounds for issuance of this order are that
                           [Option 1]
the action was not filed in the proper court and the __[name of
court]__ in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ County is the proper court for trial.
                           [Option 2]
(1)  this is an action for __[e.g., the recovery of real
property, recovery of an estate or interest in real property,
injuries to real property]__ that is __[wholly/partially]__
located in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ County, California, and (2) no part of
this property is located in the county where the action was
commenced.
                           [Option 3]
there is reason to believe that __[e.g., defendant]__ cannot
receive an impartial trial in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ County.
                           [Option 4]
the convenience of witnesses and the ends of justice would be
promoted by changing the place of trial from _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
County to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ County.
                           [Continue]
     The Court is located at __[address]__.
     This motion is based on the attached documents and exhibits
including __[specify by title (or nature) and date, e.g., the
declaration of __[name]__, dated _ _ _ _]__, __[and]__ on all
papers filed and records in this action __[, and on any evidence
received at the hearing]__.
