On December 13, 2016, this matter came on regularly for hearing in front of the Honorable John
A. Mendez, District Court Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California. Stephanie L. Quinn of Murphy, Campbell, Alliston & Quinn appeared on behalf of Plaintiff
Kuiu, Inc. 	Richard W. Casey of Crowley Fleck, PLLP appeared on behalf of Eastmans’ Publishing,
Inc.
Having reviewed the memoranda and having considered the arguments of each party, the Court
finds that transfer pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1404 is appropriate. 	In considering the factors of
convenience and fairness, this Court finds that court congestion and the length of time to trial in the
Eastern District of California compared to the District of Wyoming weighs in favor of the case being
transferred to the District of Wyoming, the same district where the matter of Eastmans’ Publishing Inc.,
v. KUIU, Inc., Civil Action No. 16-CF-239-S, is pending and a district where this matter could have
been originally brought.
