## Opinion text

WEINFELD, Judge of the Panel
(dissenting) :
I dissent insofar as the Nassau Sports v. Garry Peters et al. (E.D.N.Y. 72 Civ. 1086) and Nassau Sports v. Norman Ferguson et al. (E.D.N.Y. 72 Civ. 1132) actions are concerned. Upon the argument of this motion it appeared that discovery in these matters was well advanced in the original district of commencement of suit and counsel represented that the cases were ripe for trial there. In the circumstances, a transfer would not be “for the convenience of parties [nor] . . . promote the *1119 just and efficient conduct” of such action as required by 28 U.S.C., section 1407 . I would leave these actions where they are.
