Tacoma Plaintiff Presses to Transfer His Spam Email Case to Dallas Federal Court

Perhaps the easiest way to address defendant One Technologies’ motion to dismiss plaintiff Nathan Brinton’s complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction (see 2311220040) is "to simply transfer" the case to the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, said Brinton’s opposition Tuesday (docket 3:23-cv-06046) in U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Tacoma. Brinton alleges that One Technologies, a credit information company, caused the delivery of at least 175 spam emails to his inbox since August, in violation of Washington consumer protection laws. Counsel for the parties have conferred via email “regarding the prospect of simply transferring this matter to the Northern District of Texas rather than fighting about personal jurisdiction” before the Tacoma court, said Brinton’s opposition. From that email correspondence between counsel for both sides, Brinton’s counsel, Andrew Grimm of the Digital Justice Foundation in Omaha, believes that transferring this matter to Texas would be unopposed by One Technologies, it said.
