MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

Before the court is a motion by defendant and

counterclaimant, Trustmark South of Alabama, Inc., to transfer

the above-entitled case to the Southern District of Alabama. 

From the record, defendants, Southern Ventures, LLC and Caribbean

I Homeowner’s Association, Inc. have not appeared or been served,

parties reflect that these unserved defendants are represented by

counsel. Before ruling upon the question of forum non

conveniens, the court will await appearances by the thus far nonappearing defendants and an expression from them on the venue

question, or, if said defendants do not voluntarily appear and

the unserved defendants, and the venue question will be then

ruled upon. This order shall be transmitted by the Clerk not

only to counsel for the parties who have appeared, but to Richard
