Case No. 4:15-CV-00467 VC

-2- STIPULATION TO TRANSFER VENUE TO THE 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

Plaintiff Terrance Haynie and Defendants United Airlines, Inc. and Continental Airlines, 

Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby submit this STIPULATION TO TRANSFER VENUE 

TO EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA AND PROPOSED ORDER pursuant to the Court’s 

Order on April 9, 2015, at the Case Management Conference (Dkt. 20).

WHEREAS:

1. On April 9, 2015, the Court held a Case Management Conference for this action. 

During the conference, the parties agreed that Plaintiff’s case should be transferred to another 

venue. Accordingly, the Court ordered the parties to file a stipulation to transfer venue and 

proposed order within 7 days of the Case Management Conference hearing. (See Minute Entry,

Dkt. 20). 

2. While the parties agreed to stipulate that venue should not be in the Northern 

District of California, they initially did not agree as to the judicial district to which venue should 

be transferred. Defendants contended that Plaintiff’s case would be properly transferred to the 

Eastern District of Virginia; Plaintiff contended that his case was appropriate in the District of 

Columbia. 

3. In light of the parties’ agreement to transfer but disagreement as to the proper 

transferee court, the Court ordered Defendants to file a motion to transfer venue. (See Order, Dkt. 

22). 

4. Pursuant to the Court’s Order, Defendants filed a Motion to Transfer Venue on 

May 1, 2015. (Dkt. 23). 

5. The parties have since agreed to stipulate and consent to transfer Plaintiff’s action 

to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. 

6. Defendants agree that their Motion to Transfer Venue (currently set for May 21, 

2015 at 10:00 a.m.) should be taken off-calendar immediately upon the entry of the order to 

transfer.
