July 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 32 MEMORANDUM ORDER denying #28 Motion to Transfer Case or, in the Alternative, MOTION to Stay. The undersigned finds that the best exercise of the court's discretion in these circumstances is to deny the request to transfer the case back to the Eastern District. The reasons given by Judge Fallon were sound, and the EEOC has not pointed to any particular errors or mistakes in the decision that might warrant reconsideration or other form of review. The better course is to move forward toward a resolution of the merits of the dispute that arose in this district and division. The EEOC's alternative request for a stay is also denied, but the agency is free to pursue any procedurally appropriate avenue for further review of the transfer decision, and it does not need a stay to do so.The scheduling order Doc. #22 entered in the Eastern District is vacated. A scheduling conference will be held in this court in the near future, and a new scheduling order will issue. See Memorandum Order for details. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark L Hornsby on 7/25/2022.
