ORDER
Before the Court is a Joint Motion for Transfer filed by the parties. ECF No. 18. The
parties move the Court to transfer this case to the Western District of North Carolina (Charlotte
Division). This matter is ripe for the Court’s consideration.
“For the convenience of the 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 the present
case, all parties consent to the transfer of this case to the Western District of North Carolina. The
Court notes that both Defendants maintain offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. Moreover,
independent of the parties’ consent, the Court finds that the balance of convenience and the interest
of justice favor the transfer of this case to the Western District of North Carolina (Charlotte
Division).
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Joint Motion for Transfer (ECF No. 18) should be and
hereby is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court shall immediately transfer this case pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) to the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina
(Charlotte Division).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 12th day of April, 2017.
