STIPULATION AND ORDER TRANSFERRING THE CASE TO THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ROBERT C. JONES, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff VoIP-Pal.com ("Plaintiff" or "VoIP-Pal") and Defendant Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") agree and stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS Verizon filed on August 17, 2018, a Motion to Transfer Venue to the Northern District of California Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) [Dkt. No. 72]. The Motion to Transfer is fully briefed as of September 11, 2018. VoIP-Pal no longer opposes Verizon's Motion to Transfer;
WHEREAS VoIP-Pal filed a lawsuit against Twitter, Inc. in this District asserting the same patents as are asserted in this litigation. Voip-Pal.com, Inc. v. Twitter, Inc., No. 2:16-cv-02338-RFB-CWH (D. Nev.). The Voip-Pal v. Twitter case was transferred to the Northern District of California on July 23, 2018;
WHEREAS VoIP-Pal has also filed lawsuits against AT&T Corp., Apple Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. in this District. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. AT&T, Inc., No. 2:18-cv-01129-RCJ (D. Nev.); VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 2:16-cv-00260-RFB-VCF (D. Nev.); Voip-Pal.com, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-cv-01076-MMD-VCF (D. Nev.). The cases involve similar allegations as this case. VoIP-Pal consents to transfer of the AT&T Corp., Apple Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. cases to the Northern District of California.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that this case is transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Clerk of Court shall close this case in this District.
This Stipulation is filed in good faith and is not intended to cause unnecessary delay. The convenience of the parties and witnesses favors transfer to the Northern District of California. And because the Twitter, Inc. case was transferred to California, and VoIP-Pal consents to transfer of the AT&T Corp., Apple Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. cases, it would be efficient for the parties and the Court to also transfer this case. There is thus good cause to transfer the case to the Northern District of California.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
