| Filing 54 TRANSFERRED to the USDC Southern District of New York the electronic record. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/17/2022.] |
| Filing 53 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: On April 19, 2022, this Court denied the motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens (Dckt. No. #47 ), but directed the parties to address whether the case should be transferred to the Southern District of New York under 28 U.S.C. 1404. The case involves identity theft, and there aren't a lot of ties to this forum. But there are a number of ties to New York. Plaintiff resides in the Bronx, and apparently has a New York driver's license. See Def. Santander's Mem., at 1, 2 n.2 (Dckt. No. #35 ). According to the complaint, someone falsely used Plaintiff's identity to purchase a car from a dealer in Great Neck, New York, and the dealer assigned the New York Retail Installment Contract for the vehicle to Defendant Santander. See Cplt., at para. 18; Def. Santander's Mem., at 2. When he discovered the identity theft, Plaintiff filed a complaint with the NYPD. See Cplt., at para. 27. Plaintiff alleges that the identity theft led to inaccurate credit reporting, and he was unable to purchase a home as a result. See id. at para. 60. Plaintiff does not reveal where the home was located, but the Court assumes that it was in New York. (That's what Santander suggests, and Plaintiff does not deny it.) Section 1404(a) provides that a district court "may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought," if a transfer would promote the "convenience of the parties and witnesses" and the "interest of justice." See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). This case satisfies that standard, in spades. The events took place in New York, so the Southern District of New York is an available forum. All of the key events took place in New York, and none of the key events took place in Illinois. The identity theft took place in New York, and Plaintiff sprung to action to report the theft in New York. The witnesses are in New York, not Illinois. It doesn't make a lot of sense to litigate a case about a New York fraud in Illinois. Litigating the case in Plaintiff's own backyard makes more sense than litigating the case hundreds of miles away from where everything happened. Defendant Trans Union is headquartered in Chicago, and Trans Union wants to litigate here. See Def. Trans Union's Mem. (Dckt. No. #51 ). That connection is at least some reason to stay here. But it's not a particularly weighty reason. Trans Union does not identify any witnesses in Chicago who would testify. Trans Union does not know if anyone from its dispute processing center would need to testify, but if so, that center is in Pennsylvania, not Illinois. Id. at 4-5. Trans Union's counsel is based in Indiana (175 miles from Chicago), so defense counsel would need to travel either way (albeit a shorter distance, to a less expensive destination). The ties between the other defendants and this forum are thin or non-existent. Defendant Santander is an Illinois corporation, but it is based in Texas and has no offices in Illinois. See Def. Santander's Mem., at 4 (Dckt. No. #49 ). So, as a practical matter, Santander's ties don't make a difference when it comes to litigating the case (i.e., it has no documents or witnesses here). Defendant Experian is an Ohio corporation based in California, and Defendant Equifax is a Georgia LLC based in Atlanta. In his response brief, Plaintiff addresses the merits, and bemoans the possible delay from a transfer. (Dckt. No. #52 ) But Plaintiff offers little reason for planting a stake in Illinois. And this Court has decided that it makes sense to pull up stakes, and head the case to New York. The Court hereby transfers the case to the Southern District of New York under 28 U.S.C. 1404(a) forthwith. The parties are worried about the close of fact discovery, which is set for July 29, 2022. (Dckt. No. #28 ) The Southern District of New York will reset that deadline, if appropriate. The Court directs the parties to proceed with diligence and continue to pursue discovery in good faith in the meantime, and thus continue to make progress. Defendant Santander filed a motion to stay or extend the deadline for initial disclosures in light of the possibility of a transfer. (Dckt. No. #50 ) But initial disclosures are a creature of the Federal Rules, and the Federal Rules govern in the SDNY, too. So an indefinite stay would delay the inevitable. The motion (Dckt. No. #50 ) is hereby granted in part as follows. In light of the transfer, and the resources devoted by the parties in briefing that issue, the Court extends the deadline to serve initial disclosures and discovery responses by two weeks. This extension applies to all parties. If the parties seek any additional extension, they must request it in the SDNY. Civil case terminated.

| Filing 49 Statement in Support of Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404 STATEMENT by Santander Consumer USA, Inc. (Frankel, David) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/17/2022.] |
| Filing 48 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: After reviewing Defendant Santander Consumer USA Inc.'s motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens, the Court agrees that there is no clear tie to this forum except for Santander's headquarters. As a result, the Court is contemplating transferring this case sua sponte to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a); In re Ryze Claims Solutions, LLC, 968 F.3d 701, 706 n.5 (7th Cir. 2020) ("It is well established that a district court has the authority to sua sponte transfer a case under 28 U.S.C. 1404.") (collecting cases). Any party may file a statement supporting or opposing the transfer (if they so choose) by April 27, 2022. Mailed notice (jjr, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/17/2022.] |
| Filing 47 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens filed by Defendant Santander Consumer USA Inc. (Dckt. No. #34 ) is hereby denied. "The common law doctrine of forum non conveniens allows a federal district court to dismiss a suit over which it would normally have jurisdiction in order to best serve the convenience of the parties and the ends of justice." Stroitelstvo Bulgaria Ltd. v. Bulgarian-Am. Enter. Fund, 589 F.3d 417, 421 (7th Cir. 2009). The doctrine "is an exceptional one that a court must use sparingly." Deb v. SIRVA, Inc., 832 F.3d 800, 805 (7th Cir. 2016). The movant faces a "heavy burden... because if the doctrine is successfully invoked, the result is not a transfer to another court but a dismissal, and the plaintiff will not be able to refile his case in any other court if the statute of limitations has run." Id. Notably, the Supreme Court has suggested that "[t]he common-law doctrine of forum non conveniens 'has continuing application [in federal courts] only in cases where the alternative forum is abroad," and perhaps in rare instances where a state or territorial court serves litigational convenience best." See Sinochem Int'l Co. Ltd. v. Malaysian Int'l Shipping Co., 549 U.S. 422, 430 (2007) (quoting American Dredging Co. v. Miller, 510 U.S. 443, 449 n.2 (1994)). Congress enacted 28 U.S.C. 1404 to "codify[] the doctrine" and "provide[] for transfer, rather than dismissal, when a sister federal court is the more convenient place for trial of the action." Id.; see also Atl. Marine Const. Co. v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for W.D. Tex., 571 U.S. 49, 60 (2013) ("Section 1404(a) is merely a codification of the doctrine of forum non conveniens for the subset of cases in which the transferee forum is within the federal court system; in such cases, Congress has replaced the traditional remedy of outright dismissal with transfer."); Arthur R. Miller & Charles Alan Wright, Federal Practice and Procedure 3828 (4th ed. 2022) ("Once transfer between district courts became available under Section 1404(a), the harsh step of dismissing on the basis of forum non conveniens became inappropriate when the superior alternative forum is another federal district court."). Here, as admitted by Santander, the more appropriate district for this case is the Southern District of New York. See Def.'s Mem. in Support of Mtn. to Dismiss, at 45 (Dckt. No. #35 ). Because the Southern District of New York is not a foreign, state, or territorial court, this Court declines to exercise its discretion in dismissing this case for forum non conveniens. Motion denied. Mailed notice (jjr, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/17/2022.] |
