MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
VANARTSDALEN, Senior District Judge.
Defendant, Beach Terrace Motor Inn, Inc. (Beach Terrace) has filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for lack of personal jurisdiction. Although I find that this court lacks personal jurisdiction over the defendant, I will deny the motion, and instead transfer this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, a district court that has personal jurisdiction over the defendant and in which this action could have been brought.
