• noting that dismissal for forum non conveniens is typically only appropriate where a plaintiff chooses a forum wholly unrelated to the dispute
• reversing unconditional dismissal where there was a substantial question concerning whether defendant could be compelled to appear in foreign forum
• noting the “strong presumption in favor of a domestic 19 plaintiff’s forum choice”
