Heading: Kerzner’s Renewed Motion to Dismiss

Text: Kerzner then filed a renewed motion to dismiss pursuant to the forum non conveniens doctrine and Atlantic Marine. The district court granted the motion. The district court first restated its earlier ruling that the forum-selection clause was enforceable. Thus, the district court applied the modified version of the forum non conveniens doctrine and concluded that the Pappases had not met their burden of showing that dismissal of their complaint was unwarranted. The district court found that all of the public interest factors—the only factors relevant in the Atlantic Marine analysis—favored dismissal. 6 Case: 14-11098 Date Filed: 09/17/2014 Page: 7 of 13 The Pappases timely appealed.
