The government has failed to satisfy its burden of demonstrating that a transfer would promote the convenience of parties and witnesses or would be in the interests of justice. Plaintiff 9;s limited means and significant medical issues would make it difficult for her to litigate this case in the Southern District of Texas. The availability of videotaped testimony or depositions in lieu of live testimony and the ease with which docu mentary evidence can be transferred eliminates any substantial burden that might be imposed on witnesses and the parties by trying this action in the Eastern District of New York. The government's motion to transfer this case to the Southern District of Texas is denied. Ordered by Judge Jack B. Weinstein on 11/4/2015. (Barrett, C)
