Filing 19 CASE TRANSFERRED IN from District of Illinois Northern; Case Number 1:21-cv-06429. |
Filing 18 TRANSFERRED to the USDC Western District of Missouri the electronic record. (exr, ) [Transferred from ilnd on 12/28/2021.] |
Filing 17 ORDER: The Clerk is directed to transfer this action to the Western District of Missouri, forthwith. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 12/28/2021. Mailed notice. (exr, ) [Transferred from ilnd on 12/28/2021.] |
Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: In light of the District Judge's termination of this case Dkt #15 , all matters relating to the referral of this case have been resolved. Notice of motion date of 12/27/2021 before Magistrate Judge Weisman is hereby stricken with no appearance required. Referral terminated.Mailed notice. (pk, ) [Transferred from ilnd on 12/28/2021.] |
Filing 15 ORDER: Defendant's motion to transfer #12 is granted. Defendants served a third-party subpoena seeking documents and a deposition from Klintworth & Rozenblat, LLP, for use in two patent-infringement cases pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Defendants served comparable subpoenas on other third parties in the Northern District of Illinois. There are or were similar motions to quash in three miscellaneous cases in this district, including this case, all of which involve subpoenas in the same underlying litigation. See Provisur Technologies v. Weber, Inc., 21-cv-6421 (Ellis, J.); Provisur Technologies v. Weber, Inc., 21-cv-6425 (Ellis, J.); Provisur Technologies v. Weber, Inc., 21-cv-6428 (Seeger, J.). As Judge Seeger recently found in 21-cv-6428, Dkt. 12: The issues in this patent case are complex. Judge Bough has presided over the underlying litigation in the Western District of Missouri for several years, so he has a heightened familiarity with the issues at hand. Judge Bough is in the best position to render a decision on the merits. Moreover, fact discovery closes on December 22, 2021, only two days from today. Judge Bough can give a better, faster decision than this Court. According to Defendant, during a hearing on December 13, Judge Bough expressed a willingness to resolve the issues surrounding the subpoenas at hand. It makes more sense to have one judge who knows a lot about the case decide the merits of the motions, instead of three judges who know next to nothing about the case. The complexity of the case, the procedural posture, and the need for speed all weigh in favor of transfer. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(f) advisory committee's note to 2013 amendment (noting that "transfer may be warranted in order to avoid disrupting the issuing court's management of the underlying litigation, as when that court has already ruled on issues presented by the motion or the same issues are likely to arise in discovery in many districts"). Judge Seeger has already transferred 21-cv-6428 to the Western District of Missouri, and this court finds it advisable to do so as well for the same reasons. The court finds "exceptional circumstances" to transfer the motion to the Western District of Missouri. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(f). The Clerk is directed to transfer this action to the Western District of Missouri. The case is closed. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 12/20/2021.
