SHARON SIGALAS, et ah, §
Defendants, §
MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE
COMES NOW, Matthew Parr, et al., plaintiffs in the above styled and numbered cause and
respectfully requests the court to consider pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404(a) that this action be
transferred to the United States District Court Southern District of Mississippi Southern Division
for the following reasons:
1. For the convenience of the defendants and witnesses. All of the defendants are currently
domiciled in the Southern District of Mississippi and requiring them to travel to Texas
would pose an inconvenience and possible financial hardship on all parties.
2. In the interest of justice. This action could have been brought in the Southern District of
Mississippi by any of the plaintiffs.
3. Lack of personal jurisdiction over parties. This court would likely not be able to exercise
personal jurisdiction over the defendants even though it does have subject matter
jurisdiction thus limiting the remedies available to plaintiffs.
4. Plaintiffs' filing in this Court was not made in bad faith or with any intent to cause undue
expense to any of the parties or the Court.

5. No defendant has yet responded to summons with an answer or entered any pleading in
this matter. A transfer at this time will spare the Court and the defendants from
unnecessary pleadings.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request that this action be transferred to the Southern District of
Mississippi.
Respectfully submitted on the 1st day of June, 2009,
Matthew M. Parr, pro se.
