$NLST Look at Pitman's hypocrisy & contradiction: Recent article—"Texas Startup Must Litigate Apple in California because of Convenience to the Tech Giant"—about a case where the plaintiff is headquartered in Austin and defendant has "major presence" there also.

"Haptic is headquartered in Austin at the home of its longtime CEO and listed inventor Jake Boshernitzan. The company was part of Techstars Austin Accelerator as it developed its product"

"Apple also has a major presence in Austin, with about 10,000 Austin employees and a billion-dollar second headquarters campus in the city."

"NEVERTHELESS, Judge Pitman GRANTED Apple’s motion to transfer the case to the Northern District of California, finding that the CONVENIENCE factors strongly favored transfer."

Suddenly convenience is a factor to transfer for Pitman, regardless Austin is the appropriate venue...Apple asked. Judges are given discretion by appeal courts, as long as they can justify their decision.
