Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“28 U.S.C. § 1404 (a), ... allows the Court in its discretion to transfer venue “[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice.” The burden is on the moving party to demonstrate entitlement to transfer on this ground.... In addressing the request, the Court must balance the following factors: “(1) the weight accorded the plaintiffs choice of forum; (2) the place where the operative facts took place; (3) the convenience of the parties; (4) the convenience of the witnesses; (5) the availability of process to compel unwilling witnesses; (6) the location of relevant documents and the relative ease of sources of proof; and (7) trial efficiency and the interests of justice.”... It is well established that a plaintiffs choice of forum should not be disturbed unless the balance of factors tips heavily in favor of transfer.”
