ORDER
KOVACHEVICH, District Judge.
This cause is before the Court on Defendants’ motions to transfer and to dismiss, and Plaintiffs’ response thereto. No opposition to the Motion to Dismiss appears in this file.
I.TRANSFER
Defendants seek the transfer of this case to Georgia on the basis that Georgia is a more convenient forum for the parties and witnesses, and the interests of justice would be served by the transfer.
The threshold consideration is whether this case might have been brought in the transferee district. It is clear from the pleadings that this requirement is met.
