Having concluded that the matter should be transferred, I decline to rule on the motion to dismiss or Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. See Morales v. Next Stop 2006, Inc., No. 1:22-CV-03311 (JLR), 2023 WL 112557, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 5, 2023) (declining to rule on motion to dismiss when court found a transfer was in the interests of justice). The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to close all open motions on the docket and transfer this case forthwith to the Western District of New York. The seven-day waiting period set forth in Local Rule 83.1 is hereby waived so that the case may be transferred without delay. (Signed by Judge Vernon S.

October 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ORDER denying #28 Motion to Serve. I am in receipt of Plaintiff's motion filed on October 13, 2023, requesting that I enter an order directing the U.S. Marshals Service for the Southern District of New York, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3), to serve the summons and complaint in this action. (Doc. 28.) Because Defendant was already served a copy of the summons and complaint in this matter, (Doc. 3), and Defendant has since appeared and filed a motion to dismiss without challenging service, (see Doc. 11), I see no reason to direct service by the U.S. Marshals Service. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion is DENIED. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion pending at Document 28 and mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff..
