April 25, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 13 NOTICE by MinedMap, Inc. Notice of Emergency Motion for Change of Venue (Williams, Edward) [Transferred from New York Eastern on 4/26/2019.]
April 25, 2019 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #13 emergency motion for change of venue (which should have been docketed as a "motion" on ECF, not a "notice"). Plaintiff brought this case in the wrong venue, perhaps not wrong as a technical matter, but in a venue that is useless to it because the assets on which it seeks a prejudgment Order of Seizure are in the Northern District of New York, not this district, and thus they cannot be seized by the U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of New York. Under these unusual circumstances, and because plaintiff has produced some evidence showing that the assets may be rapidly wasting, the Court grants the motion to transfer to the NDNY as being in the interest of justice under 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). The 7-day waiting period under the Local Rules is waived, but even with that, it may have been faster for plaintiff to take a voluntary dismissal of this action and simply recommence it in NDNY. However, since plaintiff opted to proceed in this manner, the Court grants the motion. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 4/25/2019. (Weisberg, Peggy) [Transferred from New York Eastern on 4/26/2019.]
April 24, 2019 Opinion or Order ORDER. The Court's 4/22/2019 Order and the 4/23/2019 writ of replevin are VACATED because the Court does not have jurisdiction to send a marshal to seize property outside of the Eastern District of New York. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 4/24/2019. (Weisberg, Peggy) [Transferred from New York Eastern on 4/26/2019.]
