• holding that the decision to transfer rests within the sound discretion of the district court
• finding that a party’s failure to seek a venue change with reasonable promptness weighs against transfer
• recognizing and applying Peteet in denying petition for mandamus where the district court determined that the movant had failed to file its motion to transfer with reasonable promptness
• rejecting argument seeking to exclude opinion of expert toxicologist because he never personally examined the plaintiff
• requiring defendant to make a showing that the forum sought is more convenient
• finding no abuse of dis- cretion in denying defendant’s § 1404(a) motion filed eighteen months after the case was remanded, because “[p]arties seeking a change of venue should act with ‘reasonable prompt- ness.’”
