CASE NO. 1:13-CV-0539 AWI SMS
ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO
THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF
WASHINGTON

13
14

Defendant Vanguard has made a motion to abstain and dismiss the case as there was a

15

parallel case before the Western District of Washington that was filed before the California case.

16

Doc. 8. Plaintiff Evans Sales opposed the motion, “conced[ing] that the two cases should be

17

combined and heard in the most appropriate forum. To this end, a motion to transfer the

18

Washington lawsuit to this court in California is pending (at the time of the hearing) before the

19

Washington District Court. It is submitted that this court should await that ruling which will most

20

likely resolve the issues presented by this motion.” Doc. 15, 5:11-15. That motion has been

21

heard; the Western District of Washington has denied the motion to transfer in Vanguard

22

International v. Sunriver Sales, Case No. 13-0482, Doc. 30.

23

Thus, to consolidate these proceedings, this case is TRANSFERRED to the Western

24

District of Washington pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
