HEARING DOCKET 

RESPONDENT'S BRIEF ON VENUE AND ADVISING COURT OF CONFLICT 

Respondent, REGENT AEROSPACE CORPORATION, by and through its counsel, 

HOFF LAW GROUP, and in response to the Judge's April1, 2014 Order directing the parties to 

advise the court where they prefer this matter to be heard, respectfully states as follows: 

On March 5, 2014, Respondent previously requested that the hearings in these matters be 

set in the Chicago, Illinois area. Although the FAA has requested venue in Indianapolis, 

Respondent would prefer this matter to be heard in Chicago, Illinois. Respondent's counsel is 

located in Chicago, Illinois. Further, FAA counsel is located in Chicago, Illinois. Finally, 

contrary to the Court's assumption, Regent's president is not located in Indiana, but is located in 

California. Therefore, for reasons of cost saving and the convenience of both parties, 

Respondent respectfully requests that the hearings in these matters be set in the Chicago, Illinois 

area. 
Furthermore, Respondent advises the Court that its attorneys are currently scheduled to 

start a jury trial in Orange County, Florida on May 27, 2014 in the matter of Bombardier 

Aerospace Corporation v. Signature Flight Corporation, 2009-CA -026451. Therefore, so as not 

to conflict with Respondent's counsel's trial schedule, Respondent respectfully requests that the 

hearings in this matter be scheduled for sometime after mid-June 2014.
