14 14 ORDER by Judge Rita F. Lin denying without prejudice 13 Stipulation. The parties' stipulation to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to refiling in a manner that complies with the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). While the stipulation satisfies § 1404(a)'s consent clause, it fails to provide any information on which the Court could conclude that the transfer serves "the convenience of parties and witnesses" and is "in the interest of justice." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a); see also Young v. iFinex Inc. , No. C19-1902, 2020 WL 42248, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 3, 2020) (denying parties' stipulation to transfer venue that provided no information to assess whether transfer would serve the convenience of parties and witnesses and be in the interest of justice).
