order Order on Motion to Transfer Case Order on Motion for CM/ECF Password Thu 10/13 5:00 PM
MINUTE ORDER: granting Plaintiff's14 Unopposed Motion to Transfer; denying Plaintiff's2 Motion for CM/ECF Password. In the interest of justice, Plaintiff's unopposed motion to transfer is hereby GRANTED. A court may transfer a case to another district "where it might have been brought" "for the convenience of parties and witnesses, [and] in the interest of justice." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Moreover, a transfer motion is proper to any district in "which all parties have consented." § 1404(a); see also Choi v. Matal, 266 F. Supp. 3d 150, 151 (D.D.C. 2017). It is now undisputed that venue is proper in the Western District of Oklahoma given that the alleged discriminatory employment action occurred in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Further, both parties consent to the transfer. It is ORDERED that the Clerk of the court shall transfer this action to the Western District of Oklahoma. It is also ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for CM/ECF Password is hereby DENIED as moot. The Clerk of the court shall mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff at their address of record. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 10/13/2022. (lcja)
