From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Guardant Health, Inc. (“Guardant”) moves to transfer this case to the Northern District of California under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Dkt. 12. Because Guardant does not show that the Northern District of California would be clearly more convenient, Guardant’s motion is DENIED. DISCUSSION A district court can transfer a case to another district where the case might have been brought for “the convenience of parties and witnesses” and “in the interests of justice.” 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
