Plaintiff’s Position: Keep Claims Intact
In a separate memorandum filed Monday, Dr. Kotler reinforced his opposition to dismissal, reiterating that although he agreed to transfer the case, the court should not interpret that as support for dismissing the claims. He asked the court to approve the venue change while preserving all allegations.
