January 2, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER **This is a family dispute over a relative's estate. Defendants move to dismiss the case for lack of personal jurisdiction. Dkt. #9 . In response, plaintiff says that he filed the case in Wisconsin because he believed that a trust that is at the center of the lawsuit was administered in the state. But he does not dispute defendants' evidence that the trust is actually administered in New Mexico, and that none of the defendants have contacts with Wisconsin. As a result, plaintiff moves to transfer the case to the District of New Mexico. Dkt. #16 . Defendants do not oppose transfer to New Mexico, see Dkt. #20 , and this court has the authority to transfer a case to an appropriate district rather than dismiss it when the court does not have jurisdiction over the defendants. See Cote v. Wadel, 796 F.2d 981, 985 (7th Cir. 1986). Accordingly, plaintiff's motion is GRANTED, and the clerk of court is directed to transfer this case to the District of New Mexico. Defendants' motion to dismiss is DENIED. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 1/02/2024. (nln) [Transferred from Wisconsin Western on 1/3/2024.]
