21CV385427 Urvashi Bhagat vs Hong Plaintiff’s motion to transfer venue is DENIED. Plaintiff chose the correct venue
Guo et al when she filed this lawsuit. As Plaintiff alleges in her complaint, Plaintiff, both
defendants, and the subject property are all located in Santa Clara County. There
is no basis to transfer this case to San Francisco. Plaintiff’s unhappiness with the
Court’s rulings is not a basis for transfer. Further, the undersigned Court will not
be the trial judge. The Court agrees there was no basis for this motion to transfer
and that fees are appropriate pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 396b. The
Court finds 8 hours at $150 per hour reasonable given the volume of Plaintiff’s
filings in support of this motion. Plaintiff is ordered to pay Defendant $1200 in
fees and costs within 30 days of service of this formal order. Plaintiff is also
again ordered to pay the $750 in fees and costs Judge Rudy previously ordered
Plaintiff to pay Defendant.
