Boateng v. General Dynamics Corp.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that the party seeking transfer to another district must be able to specify witnesses and what their testimony generally will be
• “[T]he convenience of expected witnesses is probably the most important factor, and the factor most frequently mentioned.”
• “The presumption in favor of a plaintiff’s choice of forum renders transfer inappropriate where its effect is merely to shift the inconvenience from one party to the other.” (internal quotations and citation omitted)
• “Convenience of the witnesses does not support transfer, because although a majority of the expected witnesses reside in North Carolina, virtually all of them are employed by the defendants, and defendants can therefore readily produce their appearance in Massachusetts.”
