Alice, a resident of State A, files a lawsuit in federal court in State A against Bob, a resident of State B. The incident that led to the lawsuit occurred entirely in State C. Bob argues that State A is an improper venue and requests that the court transfer the case to State C under the forum non conveniens doctrine. What is the most appropriate action for the court to take regarding the venue of this case?
Transferring the case to State C is appropriate because the events occurred there, making it a more convenient forum, which aligns with the forum non conveniens doctrine.
