Schwartz v. Marriott Hotel Services, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the locus factor did not heavily favor transfer to the district of the site of injury in a straightforward slip and fall case where evidence was equally available in both the district of the injury and the district where plaintiff received medical care
• taking judicial notice of the close proximity between the Eastern District of New York and the District of New Jersey and reasoning “it is quite likely that [potential third-party witnesses] live within 100 miles of this Court” and thus are “amenable to the subpoena power of this Court”
• “The plaintiff’s choice of forum far outweighs the two factors that slightly favor transfer . . . [especially because, in part,] the forums are no further than 65 miles apart . . .”
