OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting a breach-ofcontract claim. This lawsuit is now before the court 

on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to 

state a claim be denied; that defendants’ motion to 

dismiss for improper venue be granted to the extent 

that the case should be transferred to the Middle 

District of Georgia; and that the defendants’ 

alternative motion for change venue on the basis of 

forum non conveniens be granted as well. Also before 

the court are plaintiff’s objections to the 

Case 2:14-cv-00879-MHT-PWG Document 25 Filed 06/30/15 Page 1 of 2
recommendation that the venue motions be granted. 

After an independent and de novo review of the record, 

the court concludes that plaintiff’s objections should 

be overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

adopted to the extent of (1) denying the motion to 

dismiss for failure to state a claim and (2) granting 

the motion to dismiss for improper venue to the extent 

of transferring this case to the Middle District of 

Georgia for improper venue.

An appropriate order will be entered.

DONE, this the 30th day of June, 2015.
