of transfer served on all parties as required by Code of Civil Procedure section 399(b). It is important to note that each document originally filed in Sacramento County and then transferred to Placer County bears the original file-stamp from Sacramento County and the June 10, 2021 file-stamp from Placer County.

Plaintiff understands Section 399’s requirement that the court “shall have and exercise over the action or proceeding the like jurisdiction as if it had been originally commenced in that court, all prior proceedings being saved” means that the transferee court must file- stamp all documents the same date that they were file-stamped by the transferor court. The court has searched but is unable to find any legal authority interpreting this language the way plaintiff does, nor has the court located any legal authority that would permit the transferee court clerk to file-stamp a date prior to the date of transfer. Plaintiff has failed to show a clerical error in need of correction within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure section 473(d).

The motion is denied.
