`
`On February 16, 2021, the State of New York by and through
`Letitia James, Attorney General of the State of New York (the
`“State”), sued Amazon.com Inc., Amazon.com Sales, Inc., and
`Amazon.com Services LLC (collectively, “Amazon”) in the New York
`Supreme Court for violations of New York Executive Law § 63(12)
`and New York Labor Law §§ 200, 215, and 740. The next day, Amazon
`removed the action to this Court. Before the Court are the State’s
`motion to remand the case to state court pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
`§ 1447 and Amazon’s motion to transfer the case to the U.S.
`District Court for the Eastern District of New York pursuant to 28
`U.S.C. § 1404(a).
`Upon consideration, the Court grants the State’s motion to
`remand and denies Amazon’s motion to transfer. An opinion
`explaining the reasons for this ruling will follow in due course.
