October 5, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 12 Case transferred in from District of District of Columbia; Case Number 1:20-cv-03688. Original file and docket sheet received.
October 5, 2021 Opinion or Order Notification of transfer of civil case from the District of Columbia Case No. 1:20cv3688 to the Eastern District of Virginia. (ldab, )
September 10, 2021 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER denying in part, and granting in part Defendant's #8 Motion to Dismiss, or Alternatively, to Transfer. Defendant has moved, ECF No. 8, to transfer to the Eastern District of Virginia. "For the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought or to any district or division to which all parties have consented." 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). In deciding whether to transfer a case under 1404(a), the Court must (1) ensure venue is proper in the transferee district, and (2) balance public and private interest factors to determine which forum best serves the convenience of the parties and witnesses as well as the interest of justice. See Ctr. for Envtl. Sci., Accuracy & Reliability v. Nat'l Park Serv., 75 F. Supp. 3d 353, 356 (D.D.C. 2014). Venue is clearly proper in the transferee district, the Eastern District of Virginia, because all of the alleged employment actions and decisions took place there. See ECF No. 1-1 at 1; 42 U.S.C. 2000e-5(f)(3). And as other courts in this district have repeatedly found, the public and private interest factors favor transfer to the district where a plaintiff bringing employment-related claims was employed, which in this case is the Eastern District of Virginia. See, e.g., Hunter v. Johanns, 517 F. Supp. 2d 340, 344 (D.D.C. 2007); Onyeneho v. Allstate Ins. Co., 466 F. Supp. 2d 1, 5 (D.D.C. 2006). Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendant's motion is GRANTED in part, to the extent that it seeks transfer, and otherwise DENIED as moot, without prejudice to Defendant moving under Rule 12 to dismiss the complaint once the case is docketed in the transferee court. The Clerk of Court is directed to TRANSFER this case to the Eastern District of Virginia. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 9/10/21. (lctjk2) [Transferred from District of Columbia on 10/5/2021.]
