(1970) (“The court in the district where the deposition is being taken may, and frequently

will, remit the deponent or party to the court where the action is pending.”).

PatchLink is currently involved in employment discrimination actions consolidated

under 8:07-CV-0211. In connection with that litigation, PatchLink caused a subpoena to be

issued from this Court upon non-parties Moshirs.

The parties dispute whether it would be more burdensome for PatchLink or Moshirs

to search their files for certain emails sent by Moshirs. Both have filed affidavits attesting

to the financial and temporal burdens that such a search and production would impose. The

Court finds that this dispute can best be resolved by the judge presiding over the consolidated

employment discrimination cases, which the parties’ motions indicate is Judge Deborah K.

Chasanow. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED transferring this matter to the United States District

Court for the District of Maryland.

DATED this 9th day of October, 2007.
