The following excerpt is from Hendrix v. Naphtal, 971 F.2d 398 (9th Cir. 1992):
2 The district court properly emphasized physical presence because it is a central, and ordinarily necessary, factor in determining a person's domicile. See Lew v. Moss, 797 F.2d 747, 752 (9th Cir.1986) ("Domicile ... requires both physical presence at a given location and an intent to remain there indefinitely.") (emphasis supplied).
