DENIS R. MCDONOUGH, Docket No. 11 Defendant.
12 13 Plaintiff Keith W. Beauford, proceeding pro se, has filed suit against Denis R. McDonough, the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, pursuant to Title VII. According to Mr. Beauford, he was subjected to, inter alia, racial discrimination while he was employed as a Veteran Service Representative at the agency’s Fort Harrison Regional Office in Fort Harrison, Montana. See Compl. at 3; see also Compl. at 6 (referring to termination of employment). In September 2023, Judge Ryu issued an order instructing Mr. Beauford to show cause as to why his case should not be transferred to a different district. See Docket No. 9 (order to show cause, or “OSC”). Judge Ryu noted that Title VII has a venue provision that specifies where a suit should be filed.
