Krawczyk v. Directory Distributing Associates, Inc. et al

Filing 159

Order by Hon. Vince Chhabria denying without prejudice 144 Motion to Transfer Case. (vclc2S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 8/15/2017)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES KRAWCZYK,

Case No. 16-cv-02531-VC

Plaintiff,
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
TRANSFER WITHOUT PREJUDICE

v.
DIRECTORY DISTRIBUTING
ASSOCIATES, INC., et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 144

Defendants.

Because there are at least some colorable arguments for adjudicating the Walker and
Krawczyk cases in the Northern District of California rather than in the Eastern District of
Missouri, the motion to transfer this case is denied so that the plaintiffs may pursue their
arguments regarding the proper venue for these cases in the Missouri courts. Denial of this
motion to transfer is without prejudice to refiling it if the plaintiffs are unable to convince the
Missouri courts that the Walker case should be transferred to this court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 15, 2017
