Hey everyone, quick question—can I file a Motion to Transfer Venue along with a Motion for Leave to Amend my Complaint in Federal Court in Hawaii? There’s new evidence and new Defendants involved. The other party already filed to transfer, but they denied my request after offering to complete the venue transfer docs. I want to try both motions. Any advice?
Yeah, you can definitely file both motions at the same time. But you need to argue why the venue needs to change, like if all the evidence or witnesses are in the new location.
So, can you amend the complaint even after the defendants already filed their own motion to change venue? I thought that would complicate things.
Is there a rule about when the amended complaint needs to be filed? Like, can it be a day after the motion to amend, or does it have to be at the same time?
Can you file a permanent injunction motion after amending the complaint? I’ve been wondering this too.
Can I provide detailed amounts for the Prayer for Relief separately as an addendum? I’ve heard mixed things about that.
