How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that events at issue in FLSA class action took place at each store where a plaintiff worked and at store’s headquarters where plaintiffs’ payroll and timekeeping policies allegedly were set
- rejecting the notion that the transferee forum was more convenient merely because defendant was headquartered there and “[would] no doubt have many key witnesses and documents there”
- the alleged FLSA violations occurred at the places where each of the plaintiffs worked and resided
- “The convenience of witnesses is oft-considered the most important factor in the transfer analysis. The convenience of non-party witnesses is paramount. The defendant seeking transfer must specifically identify the key witnesses and outline the substance of their testimony.”
