Davies v. Rosenberg (In re Practical Concepts Inc.)
UNPUBLISHED
Defendant in a removed civil action filed a motion for change of venue, seeking transfer of the removed case to the jurisdiction where the chapter 11 case was pending. The court considered Bankruptcy Rule 5005(a), which requires that all papers in a chapter 11 case, including adversary complaints, be filed in the district where the bankruptcy case is pending, unless filing in another district is authorized by 28 U.S.C. § 1473. The court considered the factors applicable to venue determinations, as outlined in In re Cole Assoc., 7 B.R. 154 (Bankr. D. Utah 1980), and concluded that economic administration of the estate required transfer to the jurisdiction where the chapter 11 case was located. Defendant's motion was granted.
