When an action is commenced in an improper venue, this Court must dismiss the action, or in the interest of justice, transfer the matter to a district in which the action could have properly been brought. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). Here, all Defendants reside in New Jersey and a substantial part of all of the events or omissions giving rise to the Tauriga’s claims occurred in New Jersey. Venue is therefore proper in the District of New Jersey.
The judge could have dismissed the case and had TAUG start over.
