ORDER

This case arises from a dispute over an employment agreement and the defendants’
alleged failure to pay certain wages to the plaintiff. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss,
or in the alternative, to transfer venue on March 15, 2011. (ECF No. 23). The defendants
cited to a provision in the employment agreement at issue which stated that any litigation
between the parties shall be filed in Virginia courts. The plaintiff responded to the motion
with her consent to transfer the case to the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia,
Alexandria Division. (ECF No. 27).
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that this entire case be transferred to the District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. The parties are further
instructed that they have 30 days from the date of this order within which to obtain counsel
licensed to practice law in federal court in Virginia.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
