Clerk's Notice Setting Zoom Hearing

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Edward M Chen: Motion Hearing held on 9/18/2025. Re 37 MOTION to Dismiss filed by Airbnb Inc. For reasons stated on the record and herein, the Court denies Defendants motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(3) and transfer under 28 U.S.C. § 1404. Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2) because Airbnb allegedly implemented the policy decision at issue from here. That Airbnb is headquartered in this district, and no evidence was presented suggesting Airbnbs policy and operational decisions were made elsewhere, gives rise to a fair inference that a substantial part of the events... giving rise to the claim occurred in this district. This is sufficient to carry Plaintiffs initial burden on establishing venue. As to transfer, Airbnb points to a potential key witness in Alabama beyond the subpoena power of this Court. However, Plaintiff has offered evidence that the Alabama witness actually resides and California. Moreover, a significant portion of other evidence is located in this district. There is no sufficient basis in the current record to override Plaintiffs choice of forum.Total Time in Court: 23 minutes. Court Reporter: Cathy Taylor - remote. Plaintiff Attorney: Charlotte Lanvers, Sapna Mehta. Defendant Attorney: Stephanie Schuster. Attachment: Civil Minutes. (tl, COURT STAFF) (Date Filed: 9/22/2025) (Entered: 09/22/2025)
