Case No. 16-cv-03384-MMC
ORDER RE: STIPULATION TO
TRANSFER AND TO EXTEND TIME

v.
SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC.,

Re: Dkt. No. 14

Defendant.

Before the Court is the parties' Stipulation to transfer the above-titled trademark

16

and copyright case to the San Jose Division, which transfer, the parties state without

17

elaboration, is "in the furtherance of the convenience of the parties and witnesses and in

18

the interests of justice." (See Stip. at 2:2-3.)

19

Trademark and copyright cases, along with several other specified categories, are

20

assigned on a district-wide basis, for the purpose, inter alia, of alleviating an otherwise

21

unequal distribution of those actions. See General Order No. 44.D.3. Although there

22

may be circumstances under which a transfer may be warranted despite the

23

considerations underlying General Order No. 44, in this instance, such a showing has not

24

been made.

25

Accordingly, the parties' stipulation to transfer is hereby DENIED.

26

To the extent the Stipulation also includes a joint request that defendant be

27

provided an extension of time to respond to the complaint, specifically, an extension of

28

ten days from the date of the order addressing the Stipulation, said joint request is hereby

1

GRANTED, and defendant shall have ten days from the date of this order to respond to

2

the complaint.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
