NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN BROSNAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

EXPERIAN HOLDINGS, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-06508-SI 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED

On December 23, 2016, defendants Experian Holdings, Inc. and Experian Information 

Solutions, Inc. (“Experian Defendants”) filed a motion to transfer venue pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1404. Docket No. 16. Experian Defendants ask that this case be transferred to the Central 

District of California, where over 40 class action lawsuits have been consolidated before the 

Honorable Andrew J. Guilford in In re Experian Data Breach Litigation. Id. at 1. 

Plaintiff seems to be in agreement with Experian Defendants. Plaintiff, who appears pro 

se, sought permission to file this lawsuit from the Honorable William Alsup of this district. Case 

No. 15-mc-80297, Docket No. 1. Following Judge Alsup’s grant of the request, plaintiff filed a 

notice of related case on May 5, 2016. Plaintiff informed the Court of the related case of Bhuta v. 

Experian, No. 8:15-cv-01592-AG-DFM, in the Central District of California, and asked the Court

to transfer plaintiff’s case “to the same judge assigned to the Bhuta v. Experian case.” Case No. 

15-mc-80297, Docket No. 5. 

Defendant T-Mobile USA, Inc. has answered plaintiff’s complaint and as yet has taken no 

position on the requests to transfer venue. See Docket Nos. 9, 12.

Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing no later than 

January 10, 2017, why this case should not be transferred. If the parties do not respond by
