    Text Order GRANTING 15 Motion to Transfer Case entered by District Judge Leon Schydlower. For the reasons stated on the record, the motion to transfer this case to the Northern District of California is GRANTED. The Court concluded during today's hearing that every private and public interest factor bearing on a venue transfer motion either militates in favor of transfer or is neutral, and there is not a single factor militating in favor of maintaining this lawsuit in the Waco Division of the Western District of Texas. There is nothing in the record reflecting that this case has any connection to this district and division. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
