UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
JAY HIRSHBERG,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No.: 2:20-cv-593-FtM-38MRM

LYMAN PRODUCTS
CORPORATION, RICK RANZINGER
and EDWARD WYTRYCH,
Defendants.
/
OPINION AND ORDER1
Before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Transfer Action to Related First-Filed
Case Pursuant to Local Rule 1.04(b), or in the Alternative, to Transfer This Action to the
United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (Doc. 9). Plaintiff Jay Hirshberg
does not oppose the Motion, and his counsel submitted a proposed Agreed Order
Transferring Action to the Honorable John L. Badalamenti (Doc. 12). The parties agree
this case shares a common question of fact with a first-filed case pending before Judge
Badalamenti, styled M Seven Holdings LLC v. Lyman Products Corporation, No. 20:cv433-JLB-NPM. The Court finds that transfer to Judge Badalamenti will avoid duplication
in the prosecution and resolution of this case. See Local Rule 1.04(b).
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
