`trict of Maryland, noting Darlene Patrice Bennett “has
`brought related claims alleging discrimination” in that
`court. ECF No. 20 at 2. Ms. Bennett does not oppose trans-
`fer to a court where this court “believe[s] the case should
`be placed and has jurisdiction” and requests that if the
`matter is transferred, it be transferred to the United States
