MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
RICHARD W. ROBERTS, District Judge.
In this case involving claims for negligence and product liability, among others, defendant Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) has moved to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts for the convenience of the parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice. Plaintiffs Suzanne and Joseph Robinson (“the Robinsons”) oppose the transfer. Because Lilly has not demonstrated that the balance of private and public interests weighs in favor of transfer, the motion will be denied.
