CASE NO.: 07-20389 CIV-MARTINEZ due to the exigent circumstances, Mr. Graham seeks to have the Court permit him to attend and argue on his client's behalf via a telephonic appearance. Plaintiff's counsel does not oppose this relief.

Analysis of Relief 1. Defendant, Coffee Holding received notice yesterday of a Court

hearing set before this Court on Friday, February 16, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. The notice only provided one business day notice to the Defendant with respect to the hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. 2. Mr. Graham is Coffee Holding's primary outside litigation

counsel and is located in New York City where the Defendant also has its primary operations. 3. A Motion to have Mr. Graham admitted pro hac vice has already

been filed with the Court. 4. As good cause for this motion, Defendant would show that Mr.

Graham has attempted to obtain a flight this evening but due to yesterday's ice storm and related winter conditions that hit the Northeast, there has been travel chaos at the local New York area airports. This includes rescheduling passengers whose flights were cancelled or postponed yesterday to flights scheduled to depart today. As such, Mr. Graham has been unsuccessful in obtaining a flight to reach Miami for tomorrow's hearing. 5. Due to Mr. Graham's inability to obtain a flight prior to

tomorrow's hearing, it is respectfully requested that he be permitted to attend

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Miami Division Case Number: 07-20389-CIV-MARTINEZ-BANDSTRA

COFFEE BEAN TRADING-ROASTING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Plaintiff, vs.

COFFEE HOLDING, CO. INC., a Nevada corporation Defendant.

DEFENDANT COFFEE HOLDING, CO. INC'S MOTION TO ENFORCE A FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE AND TO TRANSFER VENUE AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM OF LAW Defendant Coffee Holding Co., Inc ("Coffee Holding"), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), hereby moves the Court to enforce the parties choice of venue and transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware1, and in support thereof states the following: I.PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

1

Alternatively, the Court should dismiss or transfer, this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) as venue is not proper in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Federal Courts are empowered under Section 1406(a) to dismiss or transfer a case to a district in which "it could have been brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). This Court should transfer this action to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware pursuant to Section 1406(a) because the operative agreement between the parties mandates that the only proper venue is the District Court of Delaware, thus the case is in the wrong district and should be dismissed or transferred.

Case 1:07-cv-00235-JJF Document 51-11 9 Case 1:07-cv-20389-JEM Document 10-1 Entered onFiled 05/01/2007 Page 2 ofPage 2 of 9 FLSD Docket 02/15/2007

As more fully set forth below, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), this case should be transferred to, and litigated in, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware because the parties affirmatively agreed in the Limited Liability Agreement of Café La Rica, LLC (the "Operating Agreement") to litigate any causes of action arising from the Agreement in Delaware. The language of the Agreement's forum selection clause is unambiguous ­ the parties agreed to litigate all disputes exclusively in Delaware, under Delaware law. Moreover, the parties mutually agreed to waive any claim that Delaware is an inconvenient forum. It is well settled law that, when parties enter into a forum selection clause, the party opposing a motion to transfer pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404 bears a heavy burden of proving that the forum selection clause should not be enforced. The venue mandated by a contractual forumselection clause rarely will be outweighed by any other factor in a 1404(a) analysis. Thus, this Court, pursuant to its power under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), should transfer this case to the only district court in which venue is proper, the District Court for the District of Delaware. II.STATEMENT OF FACTS For purposes of this motion, the facts are set forth below. Plaintiff, Coffee Bean Trading-Roasting, LLC ("Coffee Bean") is a limited liability company organized and operating under the laws of the State of Delaware. Defendant, Coffee Holding, is a corporation organized and operating under the laws of the State of Nevada. Neither the Plaintiff nor Defendant
