JOINT STIPULATION TO TRANSFER CASE 1 Case No. 3:15-cv-01341-RS

TO THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK 

Plaintiff, The Wave Studio, LLC (“Wave”), and Defendants British Airways Plc, Swiss 

International Air Lines Ltd. (“Swiss”), and Travix Travel USA Inc. (“Travix”) (collectively, the 

“Stipulating Defendants”), by and through their counsel of record, submit the following stipulation: 

The Stipulating Defendants and Wave hereby stipulate and request that the above-captioned 

case shall be transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

The Stipulating Defendants believe the above-captioned case is related to litigation currently 

pending in the Southern District of New York, captioned The Wave Studio, LLC v. General Hotel 

Management, et al., No. 7:13-CV-09239-CS-PED (S.D.N.Y.) (the “GHM litigation”), and should be 

consolidated with the GHM litigation. The Stipulating Defendants and Wave agree that the transfer 

stipulated here is without prejudice to consolidation of this case with the GHM litigation, and that 

upon transfer to the Southern District of New York, the Stipulating Defendants may seek to file a 

motion to consolidate this case with the GHM litigation. 

Defendant Hotels Combined LLC has not appeared in this case. Counsel for Defendant 

Hotels Combined LLC has advised counsel for British Airways and Swiss that Hotels Combined 

LLC consents to and does not oppose the transfer of this case to the Southern District of New York.

Defendant VisitUSA LLC has not appeared in this case, but David Urman had filed a motion 

to dismiss on behalf of VisitUSA LLC. Mr. Urman advised counsel for British Airways and Swiss 

that he does not oppose the transfer of this case to the Southern District of New York. 

Now, therefore, it is hereby stipulated by and between Wave and the Stipulating Defendants, 

through their respective counsel, that this case be transferred to the United States District Court for 

the Southern District of New York. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
