Case 4:23-cv-01147-ALM Document 58 Filed 11/08/24 Page 1 of 4 PageID #: 2472
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`SHERMAN DIVISION
`
`R2 SOLUTIONS LLC,
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DATABRICKS, INC.,
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 4:23-cv-01147-ALM
`
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO
`TRANSFER VENUE PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) OF DATABRICKS, INC.
`
`Defendant Databricks, Inc. (“Databricks”) files this notice of supplemental evidence in
`
`support of its motion to transfer to the Northern District of California (“NDCA”). (Dkt. 20.) Since
`
`this Court held a hearing on Databricks’ motion to transfer (Dkts. 47, 59), R2 Solutions LLC
`
`(“R2”) has identified and subpoenaed four entities1 with purportedly relevant information—two
`
`of which are based in California and none of which are headquartered or incorporated in Texas.
`
`Specifically, R2 has subpoenaed an entity called Abnormal Security Corporation, which as
`
`shown by R2’s subpoena, is based in San Francisco, California. (Ex. A (R2’s Subpoena to
`
`Abnormal Security Corporation (annotated)).) R2 has also subpoenaed an entity called Liminex
`
`Inc. d/b/a GoGuardian (“GoGuardian”). While the subpoena was served on GoGuardian’s
`
`registered agent in Texas, GoGuardian is based in the greater Los Angeles area (in El Segundo,
`
`California), and the place for compliance of the subpoena is Los Angeles, California. (Ex. B
`
`
`1 Because R2 did not list of any of these entities or their personnel in its initial disclosures,
`Databricks could not have raised this evidence during briefing of its transfer motion.
`
`
`
`Case 4:23-cv-01147-ALM Document 58 Filed 11/08/24 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 2473
`
`(GoGuardian LinkedIn); Ex. C (R2’s Subpoena to Liminex Inc. d/b/a GoGuardian (annotated)).)
`
`These entities can be subpoenaed to trial in the NDCA, but not in this Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 45.
`
`The other two entities that R2 subpoenaed, Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and Biogen
`
`Inc. (“Biogen”), are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cambridge, Massachusetts,
`
`respectively. (Ex. D (R2’s Subpoena to Comcast Corporation (annotated)); Ex. E (R2’s Subpoena
`
`to Biogen Inc. (annotated)).) While the subpoena on Comcast was served on a registered agent in
`
`Texas, Comcast is based in Pennsylvania and the place for compliance of the subpoena is
`
`Southampton, Pennsylvania. (Ex. D (R2’s Subpoena to Comcast Corporation (annotated)).)
`
`R2’s discovery requests thus reinforce the multitude of critical connections to NDCA, and
`
`the absence of ties to this District, therefore warranting transfer of venue. (Dkts. 20, 35.)
