Fact Pattern:
Phoebe Buffay is going to sue Gunther and Central Perk Café in federal court based on federal question jurisdiction. Gunther is domiciled in Buffalo, New York, which is within the Western District of New York; Central Perk Café has its principal place of business in Scarsdale, New York, which is in the Southern District of New York. After talking to her friends, Phoebe learned that the Western District of New York has too many cases and the court is backlogged; the soonest Phoebe would be able to take her case to trial would be four years.

Phoebe's attorney lives in Scarsdale, which is in the Southern District of New York.
