IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

WILLIAM F. DOSHIER and DOTSTRATEGY, CO. PLAINTIFFS

v. Case No. 4:18-cv-00628-KGB

FACEBOOK, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is an unopposed and consent motion to transfer filed by defendant 

Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) (Dkt. No. 43). Facebook requests that the Court transfer this case to 

the Northern District of California (Id.). Facebook states that plaintiffs William F. Doshier and 

dotStrategy, Co. (“dotStrategy”) have represented that they consent to the transfer and do not 

oppose this motion (Id., ¶ 1). Facebook states that this case should be transferred to the Northern 

District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) because plaintiffs have consented to the 

transfer and the parties’ forum-selection agreement designates the United States District Court for 

the Northern District of California as the exclusive federal forum for resolution of disputes relating 

to or arising out of their contractual relationship (Id., ¶ 2). For good cause shown, the Court grants 

Facebook’s motion (Dkt. No. 43). The Court directs the Clerk to transfer this case immediately to 

the Northern District of California.

So ordered this the 7th day of January, 2020.
