In M-P. v. Joyce, Judge Cronan ordered briefing before deciding whether to transfer the case to Western Louisiana.
M-P. must submit a letter by December 5, 2022, before the court decides whether to transfer the case or require further briefing; the respondents’ transfer request remained unresolved.
What happened
In M-P. v. Joyce, the respondents asked the Southern District of New York to transfer the case to the Western District of Louisiana. They relied especially on an earlier decision by the same court.
The court directed M-P. to send a letter by December 5, 2022, explaining whether there was any reason not to follow the reasoning of that earlier decision.
Judge John P. Cronan said the court would then decide whether to transfer the case or require more briefing. The order did not decide whether to transfer the case.
