Matthew 16:18 – Jesus Changes Peter's Name… So What's His New Job? – Jimmy Akin
Jimmy Akin /
September 23, 2016In this episode of Deep in Scripture, Catholic Answers Senior Apologist Jimmy Akin joins Marcus Grodi to discuss Jesus' commissioning Peter as the Rock on which He would build His Church. Catholics have an easy explanation for this, but many other Christians have a very different spin on this passage from Scripture. Join Jimmy and Marcus as they break down one of the key Bible verses that divides Catholics and other Christians. ... more
The English Counter-Reformation – Fr. Charles Connor – Deep in History
Fr. Charles Connor /
September 15, 2016Many are familiar with the Catholic Counter-Reformation that took place on the European continent in response to Martin Luther and other reformers. Less well known is what the Counter-Reformation looked like in England as a response to the schism led by King Henry VIII. Fr. Charles Connor explores the relationship between Catholics and Anglicans in England in the decades following the split between the Church of England and the Church of Rome. ... more
Delving Deep Into History Brought Me Home – Adam Crawford
Adam Crawford /
September 13, 2016We've all heard the maxim, "Your starting point always determines your conclusion," and ordinarily I would wholeheartedly agree. Yet there are exceptions to the rule. In theology and religion, these exceptions are typically referred to as conversions — that is, they involve people whose starting point (like Saul of Tarsus) very much does not determine their conclusion! ... more
Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher: Martyrs of Conscience – Dr. Scott Hahn – Deep in History
September 8, 2016In this 2006 Deep in History lecture, Dr. Scott Hahn discusses two great saints of the English Reformation: Thomas More, who died "the king's good servant, but God's first," and John Fisher, the only bishop in England who refused to acknowledge King Henry VIII's unlawful divorce. Both received the crown of martyrdom for their commitment to conscience. In a day and age where so many, even religious leaders, are willing to compromise their principles in order to do what is considered expedient in the eyes of a society ... more

Anyone interested in the English literary and theological tradition will find plenty to chew on in this lecture! ... more
Dr. Joseph Johnson- Former Presbyterian Pastor
May 17, 2016Dr. Joseph Johnson's route to the Catholic Church was circuitous- he sought community with Jewish Christians, then got his seminary training in the Presbyterian tradition. Along the way, he began to ask questions about the origins of the canon of scripture, the basis for Christian unity, and the purpose of liturgy. Coming across the work of two previous Journey Home guests, Dr. Francis Beckwith and Devin Rose, Dr. Johnson was finally compelled by belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist to come into the fullness of ... more
Jeffrey Morrow, Jewish Atheist turned Catholic Christian
Jeffrey Morrow /
February 29, 2016Marcus Grodi welcomes Jewish convert and former Evangelical Protestant Jeffrey Morrow to discuss his journey from atheism into belief in God, Christianity, and ultimately, Catholicism. Jeffrey grew up not knowing that Christmas or Easter had anything to do with Jesus! Not only was he not familiar with Christianity, but he simply didn't belief any God existed! Challenged by peers in college, he realized that Christianity is one of the most historically-defensible ideologies. He realized his atheism took more faith than belief in God. After coming to know Jesus Christ, ... more

Appeal from the Appellate Court for the Fourth District; heard
in that court on appeal from the Circuit Court of Champaign
County; the Hon. Birch E. Morgan, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied May 31, 1974.
Jerry Lee Seets was found guilty of armed robbery following a jury trial in the circuit court of Champaign County and sentenced to imprisonment for an indeterminate term of 4 to 10 years. He appealed the trial court judgment to the Appellate Court for the Fourth Judicial District. While his appeal was there pending, that court filed its opinion and entered its judgment in People v. Ellis, 10 Ill. App.3d 216, holding unconstitutional the provisions of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 37, par. 702-2) defining delinquent minors as "any boy who prior to his 17th birthday or girl who prior to her 18th birthday has violated or attempted to violate * * * any * * * state law", and providing (par. 702-7(1)) "* * * no boy who was under 17 years of age or girl who was under 18 years of age at the time of the alleged offense may be prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State * * *" unless the procedure therefor provided by the Act was followed. In holding this age differential based upon the sex of the minor violated section 18 of article I of our 1970 Constitution, the appellate court remanded the cause to the trial court with directions to afford the defendant, who was 17 at the time the offense was committed, the rights under the Juvenile Court Act available to a girl of 17 at the time of the offense.
Based upon the appellate court opinion in Ellis, Jerry Lee Seets filed with that court his motion for summary reversal. The motion was allowed. Thereafter we allowed the State's petitions for leave to appeal in both Ellis and this case.
The Ellis case was taken under advisement following oral argument at our January 1974 Term, and an opinion was adopted at our March Term. (57 Ill.2d 127.) That opinion held section 2-7(1) of the Juvenile Court Act in force at the time of commission of the offense was invalid, and concluded the effect of the holding was "to render the statute inapplicable to both males and females who were not `under the age of 17 years,' and that the failure to consider defendant eligible for treatment as a minor under its provisions did not deprive him of equal protection of the laws." (57 Ill.2d at 134.) We accordingly reversed the judgment of the appellate court remanding the cause for further proceedings, and affirmed the conviction.
Our opinion in Ellis is dispositive of the single issue before this court. However, defendant urges that other issues are presented by the record, but were not briefed in the appellate court because of allowance of the motion for summary reversal. In view of our reversal of that action, defendant is entitled to an opportunity to brief and argue to the appellate court such other issues as may be raised by the record before it. Accordingly, the judgment of the appellate court is reversed and the cause remanded to that court for consideration of such other issues as may properly be presented to it.
Reversed and remanded.

Excerpt from Dante in English Literature From Chaucer to Cary (C, 1380-1844), Vol. 2 of 2: With Introduction, Notes, Biographical Notices, Chronological List, and General Index [William Wordsworth was the son of an attorney of Cockermouth, Cumberland, where he was born in 1770. He was educated at Hawkshead Grammar School and St. John's College, Cambridge, where he entered in 1787 and graduated in 1791. While at Cambridge he studied Italian under Agostino Isola, the teacher appointed by Gray (see vol. i. pp. 358-9). In 1790 he made a tour through France and Switzerland into Italy, which he revisited in 1820 and in 1837. In 1791 he again visited France and remained there for more than a year. Shortly after his return he published his first poems, the Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches (1793). In or about 1795 he made the acquaintance of Coleridge, and in 1798 they published jointly Lyrical Ballads, to which Coleridge contributed the Ancient Mariner. In 1799 Wordsworth settled with his sister Dorothy at Grasmere, where he resided for the rest of his life. In 1807 he published two volumes containing some of his finest poems, including the Ode to Duty and Ode on the Intimations of Immortality. About 1813 Lord Lonsdale obtained for him the office of distributor of stamps for the county of Westmoreland, which he held until 1842, when Sir Robert Peel at the instance of Gladstone gave him a pension of 300 a year from the civil list. On Southey's death in 1843 Wordsworth was appointed Poet Laureate. He died at Grasmere in 1850. Of his longer poems, the Excursion was published in 1814, the White Doe of Rylstone in 1815, Peter Bell in 1819, and the Prelude (posthumously) in 1850. Wordsworth possessed a copy of the Divina Commedia, which he read, but he seems to have preferred Ariosto and Tasso to Dante, whom he admired apparently more as a patriot than as a poet. He expressed his appreciation, however, for Cary's translation, which in conversation with Alexander Dyce he described as 'a great national work.'-] 1805. Oct. 17. Letter To Sir George Beaumont (from Grasmere). [The poetry of Dante and Michael Angelo] There is a mistake in the world concerning the Italian language- the poetry of Dante and Michael Angelo proves that if there be little majesty and strength in Italian verse, the fault is in the authors, and not in the tongue.( Life of W. Wordswirth, by W. Knight, vol. ii. p. 67. ) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

My mom and dad already had a cat called Misty when I arrived.
Mom and dad's son, Simon, was 21 at the time and he was walking home at 1 o'clock in the morning. He had been to a night-club in the town where we live. I jumped out of some bushes and scared him. He bent down to pat me and I liked him straight away. He told me to go home and kept walking. I ran into the road and taxi cabs were speeding about - picking up fares. Simon was scared that I would get run-over by a taxi so he took me home.
When mom came down in the morning I was hiding. I was scared of what she might say. Simon had given me a bed and some food and water but I was too excited to eat.
Mom thought I looked cute but said that I must belong to someone and so they printed some posters and pinned them to trees and telegraph posts.
Nobody wanted me. I was lost.
Mom took me to the RSPCA but they had no room. Mom took me back home. I worked my magical charms on her and she fell in love with me. :o)
Mom took me to the vet - he said I was about 3 years old. Mom thought I was about 12 weeks old - cos I am so small. He also said that I was a very poorly little cat and I would probably turn out to be very expensive. He said I had a heart murmur, a congenital defect (my tail is all crooked) and because of this I probably had a dodgy liver and only one kidney!!
Yikes!! - mom was upset. He asked mom what she wanted to do??? Do you want to keep her or shall we do the kindest thing? Mom almost cried - 'I am going to take her home' she said. If she has lasted 3 years - she could last another 3 years.
I have been with mom and dad for nine years now. My heart murmur healed itself and I'm doing fine. I haven't cost my mom and dad loads of money - but mom said that if I was poorly - that she and dad would make sure I got better.
Mom and dad don't kniw where I came from or how I got to be on that main road. I can't tell them cos I don't remember. I just know that I love my Simon for taking me home and being so kind to me. He doesn't live at mom and dad's house anymore cos he is all grown up but he comes to visit.
Misty died about 5 years ago and then our two dogs, Lassie and Suzy died of old age. Mom and dad decided to get another cat to keep me company and to help keep me young. Her name is Spidey Cat - because she eats spiders. Yuk!!!
I have what I always wanted. People who love me and protect me - I am a very nervous girl - and lots of cuddles and a warm bed. Dad shares his supper with me, too, and Spidey Cat. Don't tell mom. ;o)

At first glance, Big Bad Bunny seems like a creature that haunts the dreams of sleeping children: Fearlessly crossing "mucky swamps" and "rushing streams" ("Big Bad Bunny can go anywhere"), the monster has furiously knitted eyebrows, razor-sharp talons and knifelike teeth. But Big Bad Bunny is actually Baby Boo-Boo, the third child of sweet Mama Mouse. Dressed in a bunny suit, the little mouse has run away. Mama Mouse, however, is less meek and dainty than she appears; thoroughly undaunted by swamps and the rest (she "will go anywhere for Baby Boo-Boo"), she pursues and tames the ferocious Big Bad Bunny - with no loss of face on her child's part. In her first picture book, Billingsley (Well Wished) extends her plot with satisfying onomatopoeia; the oversize format, too, marks this for a readaloud. Karas (Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!) strategically deploys mixed-media to render the id-gone-wild scenes with comic abandon, often ramping up the mouse's Sturm und Drang so that it energizes an entire spread. The slyly delicate portraits of Mama Mouse, meanwhile, both articulate and defuse the fear that a parent may wither in the face of a child's emotional turmoil. Together, Karas and Billingsley walk the fine line between empathy and comedy. They grant Baby Boo-Boo and her alter ego the right to act out, at the same time assuring readers that there will always be a place for them at home. Ages 4-8. (Mar.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Big Bad Bunnyby Franny Billingsley, G. Brian Karas (Illustrator)
At home,
in the Mouse House,
Baby Boo-Boo gets no respect.
Just look at her name:
Baby Boo-Boo.
She's no baby!
The word drives her wild in a big, bad way.
And here's Mama Mouse calling, always calling after her,
"Baby! Where are you, Baby?"
It's humiliating.
Mice (and other small persons)

Editorial Reviews
Big Bad Bunny appears to be big and bad indeed, with his long sharp claws, his pointy yellow teeth, and his loud angry roars. Quiet soothing pictures of Mama Mouse tucking her babies in for naps are interspersed with the frightening images of Big Bad Bunny--until Mama Mouse reaches the bed of Baby Boo-Boo. Baby Boo-Boo is missing! Mama Mouse rushes into the forest. Big Bad Bunny can go anywhere and Mama Mouse can follow him. They splat through marshes and grasses. They splish over streams. They traverse tangly bushes. Suddenly, Big Bad Bunny stops. He is lost. Mama Mouse hears her own Baby Boo-Boo howling in the distance. When she finds him in his bunny costume, Baby Boo-Boo tells her very loudly that he is no longer a baby. Mama Mouse understands. She takes his small paw in her own and they walk home. Mama Mouse tucks Big Bad Bunny aka Baby Boo-Boo into his bed. The expressive illustrations could almost tell the story by themselves. Full-page pictures exhibiting strong emotions of anger and frustration are softened with vignettes showing the love and concern of a mother for her child. A good choice for preschool storytimes. Reviewer: Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D.
PreS-Gr 1- Big Bad Bunny is fierce, with long sharp claws and pointy yellow teeth. Nothing can stop her-not a rushing stream, a mucky swamp, not even "thick, tangly bushes.... Big Bad Bunny can go anywhere." Glimpses of this fearsome creature alternate with scenes of Mama Mouse putting her babies to bed. When she discovers that one is missing, she goes off in search of her little one. She, too, crosses through the stream, the swamp, and the bushes, for "Mama Mouse will go anywhere for Baby Boo-Boo." Then she hears a howling: Big Bad Bunny has finally been stopped by a steep hill and the realization that she's lost. Mama Mouse is thrilled to find Baby Boo-Boo, even as the youngster shouts that she's not a baby, she's Big Bad Bunny. Mama plays along and they walk home hand-in-hand. Readers can now see that Big Bad Bunny is a mouse in a bunny costume. The illustrations, set against creamy pages, are done in gouache and acrylic with pencil. Karas uses exaggerated features and bright background colors to make the close-ups of Big Bad Bunny quite menacing. But as the book progresses, her scariness erodes until she's back at home in her mouse bed. This is a perfect choice for children who have felt big and bad one minute, and in need of their mothers the next.-Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI

My son loves this book. This book has a few lines that repeat themselves like "what's that noise?" and then the response is the sound like ROAR or SCRITCH. My son repeats these lines and sounds to me later laughing :) Great story for little ones and older kids that suffer from being the "baby".

Throughout your stay our doctors are on hand to give you the necessary advice and guidance to ensure that you make the most from our spa facilities and treatments. They will also be able to answer questions that you may have and can give you important advice on our effective preventative therapies and improving your health in general. Some of our signature treatments, because of their unique effects, require a doctor's consultation prior to booking. Your health spa or hotel reception will be able to give you further information on this and how you can book an appointment to see a doctor.
This treatment has three parts. Firstly we take down the guest's essential measurements (height, weight and age). From these measurements we can detirmine the guest's BMI (Body mass index – which should be between 20 and 30). We also use these measurements in combination with the body fat measuring machine to calculate the ideal body weight in kilos and energy exchange (Kcal) according to that particular guest. In the second part we measure the blood pressure and the resting pulse rate with a digital blood pressure machine. Finally we examine the respiratory function capacity (inhalation and exhalation) with a spirometer. These measurements give a clear picture of the guest's health and are a good starting point for designing a fitness program or giving lifestyle advice.
This is a specialised massage normally conducted by a physiotherapist which is intended to assist the lymphatic system, particularly in cases where there is or has been an irregularity. The massage involves light rhythmical movements of the hand, applied to the lymph nodes and the lymphatic system. It is this action that stimulates lymph node activity to cleanse the body and assist the flow of lymphatic fluid to remove toxins, debris, cell waste and dead particles. The massage is usually divided into the extremities of the body, with each extremity generally taking half an hour to massage.
Oxygen is inhaled through an intranasal tube into the nose whilst you lie comfortably in a reclining chair. The air being inhaled is enriched with about 40-60% oxygen at a reasonable level of humidity. An increased supply of oxygen into the body enhances the immune system, improves heart activity and the elasticity of the lungs, helps the condition and efficiency of the mind and is excellent for overall health. Sometimes a vitamin drink is also offered as part of the treatment.
The salt cave is a room constructed from real salt, and depending on the location this salt can be imported from several different sources. The room is designed to be relaxing and atmospheric. During the treatment, you lie comfortably in a chair relaxing whilst breathing in the special salty air. In the process, tiny salt particles are inhaled into the respiratory system and lungs. Since salt has an anti-bacterial effect, the salt particles help dissolve mucous and have a cleansing reaction in the respiratory system. It is effective for the treatment of chronic respiratory conditions, or the after-effects of a cold or respiratory infection. Because the body is in a totally relaxed position, the inhalation process is more effective, and it combines improved respiratory function with stress reduction. In some locations this treatment is followed by a thermal bath (See Balneotherapy: Thermal Bath).
The relaxing aromatic massage is conducted on a massage bed whilst the masseur massages part or all of the body. This is a slow massage with Swedish techniques that uses steady stroking movements of the hand in combination with aroma oils. Different aroma oils are used in our various spa locations. Our Relaxing Aromatic Massage is effective in releasing tension in the joints and tissues, improving muscle flexibility, blood circulation and built-up tension. The time of the massage depends very much on you, but is generally available in 20-minute sessions that can be extended according to your wishes.
This massage uses two rolled up towels soaked in hot water. The massage targets the back using the heat from the towels and a special rolling action, with the masseur firmly rolling the towels across the neck, shoulders and down the back to the sacrum in one continuous action. The treatment is excellent for reducing stress in the back, and releasing tension and pain. This makes a refreshing alternative to other standard massages, but can also be used in conjunction with other relaxation and massage treatments (See: Dolce Vitae Massage)..
Hot stone therapy is a variation on classic massage therapy. Massage oil is first applied to the body, which allows the stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. The stones used are normally lava or basalt, a type of rock rich in iron that retains heat. These stones are heated to a suitable temperature and used to massage the back. After the massage with the stones is completed, the treatment continues with a normal massage using Swedish techniques. When this is completed, the hot stones may then be placed on key points on the body and left for a short period of time. Depending on the length on the massage, this can then be repeated on the front section of the body. The massage is effective for back pain, poor circulation, stress relief and tension.
This massage combines both a full body relaxing massage based on Swedish massage techniques with a relaxing head and face massage (see: relaxing head and face massage) at the end. Our Relaxing Aromatic Massage is effective in releasing tension in the joints and tissues, improving muscle flexibility, blood circulation and built up tension. The essential oils enhance the relaxing effect of the massage.
The difference between this treatment and a normal relaxing aromatic massage is that we purposely use essential Lavender oil from the ancient Monastery of Pannonhalma based on an ancient Hungarian recipe. The relaxation effect is generated through special active ingredients in the massage oil and the absorption of the Lavender essences. This treatment uses slow Swedish massage techniques with steady stroking movements of the hand to relieve muscle tension caused by stress. Our Lavender Oil Massage is effective in releasing tension in the joints and tissues, improving muscle flexibility and blood circulation and releasing built up tension. The remaining oil is given to the guest after the treatment for home usage and as a souvenir and memento of Hungary.
This treatment is carried out in a bath, sometimes with soft whirling water at a temperature of about 34 °C. To this different herbs and oils are added depending on the effect desired. For relaxation the unique extracts from different plants. These extracts combined with the effects of the warm water help ease tension in the muscles and release stress. The bath is normally combined with massage or an alternative wellness treatment.
This treatment is carried out in a bath at the relaxing temperature of around 34 °C with Lavender Bath Salts brought directly from the Monastery of Pannonhalma, based on an ancient Hungarian recipe. Lavender, grown on the slopes of the hill on which the Monastery stands is known for its relaxing and calming effects. During the treatment the dried lavender flowers float the water's surface. The reason for the intense relaxation sensation experienced during the treatment comes from the essential Lavender oil, as its active ingredients are absorbed deeply into the skin, combined with the pleasant temperature of the water. The bath is effective for releasing tension in the muscles and tissues helping to relieve stress. This Aroma Bath with Lavender is generally recommended before a Lavender Oil Massage

Format: Trade paperback
Released: August 7th, 2014
Rating: 8.5/10
Back cover summary:
Learn how to have awesome ideas, every time! Learn how to turn your ideas into amazing stories! And make your stories come alive with incredible artwork!
How to Make Awesome Comics does exactly what the title suggests: it teaches you how to draw comics. Now I'm not good at drawing myself - I can come up with a pretty convincing stick man, tree and vampire face - but from reading this book I can now draw dinosaurs, a couple of monsters and a penguin (I tried drawing a wizard on roller skates but it didn't turn out too well).
Professor Panels and Art Monkey take you through this book, with step-by-step instructions on how to begin to draw comics. Professor Panels uses proper comic strips to introduce the lessons, and there's then plenty of opportunity and space to complete Art Monkey's challenges. Everything is covered here, from ideas to drawing faces to how to tell awesome stories and come up with a good ending. There's a great lesson on how to draw awesome monsters, which I think is the page I spent the most time on. I still can't get that centaur right, though...
This book is really informative for anyone interested in drawing or comics, and even better if you want to combine the two. You don't have to be an expert at drawing to be able to enjoy this book - as you know, I'm pretty terrible and look what an afternoon with Professor Panels has done for me!
[My attempt at a vampire]
I can't wait to try out more of my new drawing tips and tricks, especially when I one day write a picture book about tiny vampires (ha!). I'm sure How to Make Awesome Comics will be a big hit with children and teenagers, too - really anyone who just wants to draw a bit better. Well done, Neill Cameron and Phoenix Comics!

You can't remake a classic like willy wonka. The original is just too damn good at that role that I don't care what actor played willy wonka in the new one, johnny depp, or anyone else, old one could still kick their ass. so could the oompa loompas!

BINI S. PARK, PLAINTIFF,v.JOHN MCGOWAN, WENDY MORRIS AND PATRICK J. ABBOTT, DEFENDANTS.
Defendants John McGowan and Wendy Morris removed this case from the Supreme Court of New York, Bronx County. After I denied Plaintiff Bini S. Park's motion to remand the case to state court, McGowan and Morris moved to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. They seek transfer on the grounds that should have removed the case to that court and it is a more convenient forum. For the reasons set forth below, the motion to transfer is denied.
Park commenced this case in state court in Bronx County, New York, seeking to recover damages for injuries he allegedly sustained during a three-car accident in Manhattan. Park is a New Jersey domiciliary, McGowan and Morris are Canadian domiciliaries, and Abbott, who has not appeared in this action, is a New York domiciliary. McGowan and Morris removed the action to this Court, asserting there is federal subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(2) due to the diverse citizenship of the parties.
Park moved to remand the case to state court, asserting several non-jurisdictional defects in the removal. Although I agreed with Park that the removal was procedurally defective, I denied the motion to remand as untimely on October 19, 2011.*fn1 See Park v. McGowan, No. 11-CV-3454 (JG) (CLP), 2011 WL 4963759, at *2, *6--7 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 19, 2011).
In denying the motion to remand, I noted that McGowan and Morris had removed this case to the wrong federal court. Cases removed from state courts located in Bronx County should be removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Id. at *6. However, since removal to the wrong federal court was a defect in venue, I concluded that Park had waived any challenge to the removal on this ground by failing to timely raise it. See id. at *6--7.
The day after I denied the remand motion, McGowan and Morris filed a letter requesting that I transfer the case to the Southern District of New York and, in particular, that the case be heard in White Plains. Park objected to the requested transfer, and I directed the parties to submit briefs addressing whether transfer to the Southern District was warranted.
Several statutory provisions and procedural rules authorize one federal court to transfer a case to another. McGowan and Morris invoke two of them. The first authorizes transfer, as an alternative to dismissal, in order to correct a defect in venue. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) ("The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought."). The second authorizes transfer, even if there are no defects in venue or jurisdiction, to a district court that is a more convenient forum.
28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) ("For the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought."). The propriety of transfer pursuant to each provision is addressed below.
A. Transfer Pursuant to § 1406(a)
As noted above, if a party commences suit in an improper venue, § 1406(a) authorizes, in appropriate circumstances, a transfer to a proper federal court as an alternative to dismissal. Courts have held that a case removed to the wrong federal court from a state court may also be transferred under § 1406(a) instead of remanded. See, e.g., Corporate Visions, Inc. v. Sterling Promotional Corp., No. 00-CV-4663 (FB), 2000 WL 33217350, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 16, 2000); Mortensen v. Wheel Horse Prods., Inc., 772 F. Supp. 85, 89--91 (N.D.N.Y. 1991).
The parties do not dispute that, under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), this case was removed to the wrong federal court. Section 1441(a) authorizes removal of a state court action "to the district court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where such action is pending." 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) (emphasis added). As I explained in denying Park's remand motion:
According to the notice of removal and the state court pleadings, this action was removed from state court in Bronx County. The removal to this Court was therefore "forbidden, as a case that may be removed from a state court in Bronx County must be removed to the district in which that county is located, which is the Southern District of New York."
Park, 2011 WL 4963759, at *6 (quoting Sonn v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. 06-CV-1296 (FB) (JO), 2006 WL 752829, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 23, 2006)).
I also explained that removal to the wrong federal court is a defect in venue. See id. ("The 'district and division embracing' clause of § 1441(a) is a venue provision."). Since defects in venue are waivable, I concluded that Park had waived any objection that the removal was improper on this ground. See id. at *7.*fn2 The question before me now is whether McGowan and Morris have also waived any such objection.
I conclude that they have. As the removing parties, Morris and McGowan selected this district rather than the Southern District of New York. Having done so, they are akin to a plaintiff who files suit in the wrong federal court. Such a plaintiff is generally held to have waived any objection to venue. See Olberding v. Ill. Cent. R.R. Co., 346 U.S. 338, 340 (1953) ("The plaintiff, by bringing the suit in a district other than that authorized by the statute, relinquished his right to object to the venue."); Grupke v. Linda Lori Sportswear, Inc., 174 F.R.D. 15, 17 (E.D.N.Y. 1997); 6 Charles Alan Wright et al., Federal Practice and Procedure § 1416, at 140 (3d ed. 2010). Accordingly, by removing the case to this Court, McGowan and Morris have waived any objection to venue here. See Siegel v. Waynesboro Knitting Co., 7 F. Supp. 693, 694 (S.D.N.Y. 1934) ("[A]s to the venue in this district, the defendant by removing the case has waived any question thereof.").
Moreover, granting a transfer would not serve the purposes of § 1406(a). Section 1406(a) was enacted to protect litigants who mistakenly file in the wrong court from the potentially harsh penalty of dismissal, such as the expiration of a statute of limitations before the case is refiled in the proper district. See Goldlawr v. Heiman, 369 U.S. 463, 466 (1962) ("The problem which gave rise to the enactment of [§ 1406(a)] was that of avoiding the injustice which had often resulted to plaintiffs from dismissal of their actions merely because they had made an erroneous guess with regard to the existence of some elusive fact of the kind upon which venue provisions often turn."); see also Spar, Inc. v. Info. Res., Inc., 956 F.2d 392, 394--95 (2d Cir. 1992). Section 1406(a) was not intended to be a tool for a litigant who files in one court and then decides a different court would be preferable. See Spar, 956 F.2d at 395.
Analogously, transfer under § 1406(a) may be appropriate if a party moves to remand a case to state court on the ground that the case was not removed to the proper federal court under § 1441(a). See, e.g., Corporate Visions, 2000 WL 33217350, at *1. However, once the passage of time has eliminated the possibility of remand on such ground, the purpose of § 1406(a) would no longer be served by transferring the case.
Indeed, Congress limited the availability of § 1406(a) transfers (by requiring a determination that transfer was "in the interest of justice") to prevent the possibility of abuse. See 14D Wright et al., supra, § 3827, at 565--66 & n.4. While I do not suggest bad faith on the part of McGowan or Morris, it is not inconceivable that defendants might abuse § 1406(a) by purposely removing a case to the wrong court and then seeking transfer. To prevent such potential abuse, a removing party should generally be able to obtain a transfer pursuant to § 1406(a) only as an alternative to remand.
Counsel for the defendants contended at oral argument that the removal to this district rather than to the Southern District of New York was an innocent mistake, for which they should not suffer consequences. But that mistake operated to waive the very argument they advance on this motion. And if the brief history of this case has taught us anything, it is that innocent mistakes have consequences. The plaintiff's mistake in filing the motion to remand one day late is the sole reason this remains a federal case; the defendants' mistake in removing the case is the sole reason it remains a federal case in this district.
B. Transfer Pursuant to § 1404(a)
Transfer pursuant to § 1404(a) is available "[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The party seeking transfer pursuant to § 1404(a) bears the burden of making a clear and convincing showing that transfer is warranted. N.Y. Marine & Gen. Ins. Co. v. Lafarge N. Am., Inc., 599 F.3d 102, 113--14 (2d Cir. 2010). The factors to be considered in making that determination include:
(1) the plaintiff's choice of forum, (2) the convenience of witnesses, (3) the location of relevant documents and relative ease of access to sources of proof, (4) the convenience of parties, (5) the locus of operative facts, (6) the availability of process to compel the attendance of unwilling witnesses, and (7) the relative means of the parties.
Id. at 112 (quoting D.H. Blair & Co. v. Gottdiener, 462 F.3d 95, 106--07 (2d Cir. 2006)) (internal quotation marks omitted). A district court has broad discretion in applying these factors "and notions of convenience and fairness are considered on a case-by-case basis." D.H. Blair & Co., 462 F.3d at 106.
Courts have recognized that § 1404(a) transfers between the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York are different from transfers between more remote districts. See Jenkins v. Wilson Freight Forwarding Co., 104 F. Supp. 422, 425 (S.D.N.Y. 1952) (§ 1404(a) "was designed and reserved for those instances where the transfer was sought to a District Court substantially distant from the district where the action had been instituted," rather "than for a transfer from the Southern District of New York to the Eastern District of New York or vice versa"). The Southern District's Manhattan courthouse "lies just across the East River and just over the Brooklyn Bridge" from the Eastern District's Brooklyn courthouse.*fn3 Habrout v. City of New York, 143 F. Supp. 2d 399, 401 (S.D.N.Y. 2001); see also Hershman v. UnumProvident Corp., 658 F. Supp. 2d 598, 602 (S.D.N.Y. 2009) ("[T]he Court is unconvinced by the argument that appearing at a courthouse just across the East River is meaningfully less convenient."). The courthouses "lie within the same City," Kalter v. Norton, 202 F. Supp. 950, 952 n.9 (S.D.N.Y. 1962) (internal quotation marks omitted), no more than a two-mile walk or drive apart.
Given the especially close proximity of the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, most of the factors bearing on transfer are neutral.*fn4 See Rabbi Jacob Joseph Sch. v. Province of Mendoza, 342 F. Supp. 2d 124, 131 (E.D.N.Y. 2004). Neither district offers a clear advantage for the convenience of parties or witnesses, the location of relevant documents or sources of proof, or compelling the testimony of witnesses. See Hershman, 658 F. Supp. 2d at 601--02 n.1; see also Rabbi Jacob Joseph Sch., 342 F. Supp. 2d at 131.
The locus of the operative facts does favor transfer, as the car accident at issue in this case took place in Manhattan. However, this factor alone does not, on its own, establish clearly and convincingly that the case should be transferred. Moreover, as discussed above, its significance is diminished in this case since this Court is located within the very same city as the location of the accident.
Morris and McGowan also argue that by filing suit in a state court within the Southern District, Park has indicated the federal court there to be his chosen forum.*fn5 I disagree. Park's chosen forum was state court, in the Bronx. To the extent he must litigate in federal court, he has expressed a clear preference for federal court in the Eastern District rather than the Southern District.
There are instances where it is appropriate to transfer a case between the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. For example, if there is a related case pending in one district, then it may be more efficient to transfer a related case there; there may be unusual circumstances that make one district clearly more convenient than the other; or the nature of the dispute may be so closely tied to one district that it would be inappropriate for the case to be heard elsewhere. However, no such showing has been made here.
Absent a clear and convincing showing that the Southern District is a superior forum, it would be unfair to impose the disruptive effect of a transfer. This Court has already invested time in this case. "[A]lthough the case is still in its early stages, a transfer would if anything delay resolution of this dispute as a new court familiarized itself with the facts of the case." Hershman, 658 F. Supp. 2d at 603. McGowan and Morris have already delayed the case by removing it -- improperly -- from state court to federal court. Another transfer would delay this case further.
For the reasons stated above, the motion to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is denied.
So ordered.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT August Term, 2008
December 17, 2008
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE,v.WILLIAM BULLOCK, JR., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Defendant-Appellant William Bullock, Jr. appeals from a judgment of conviction entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (McAvoy, J.) on July 13, 2007. He argues principally that under the Armed Career Criminal Act, his prior convictions cannot be counted because his civil rights had been restored. For the following reasons, we affirm.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Dennis Jacobs, Chief Judge
Argued: October 3, 2008
Before: JACOBS, Chief Judge, MINER and SOTOMAYOR, Circuit Judges.
Defendant-Appellant William Bullock, Jr. appeals from a judgment of conviction entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (McAvoy, J.) on July 13, 2007. Bullock argues that: (1) his conviction (and sentence) under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), must be set aside because his civil rights had been restored; (2) his motion for a judgment of acquittal or new trial should have been granted because there was insufficient evidence to establish his constructive possession of ammunition found in a shared residence; (3) the jury venire was not representative of a cross-section of the community; and (4) his sentence is disproportionate in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We affirm.
In October 2005, a confidential informant working for the Albany County Sheriff's Department made two small purchases of crack cocaine from Bullock. Based on these transactions, the Sheriff's Department obtained a search warrant for the residence that Bullock shared with his fiancee.
During a search of the residence executed on October 12, 2005, law enforcement officials opened a dresser drawer in the bedroom shared by Bullock and his fiancee and found a small quantity of crack cocaine, some correspondence addressed to Bullock, eight rounds of ammunition, zip-lock baggies of a kind used to package cocaine, a speed loader used to feed ammunition into a revolver, and $1,543 cash. Thirty dollars of the cash was identified as pre-recorded buy money paid to Bullock during a transaction with the confidential informant. Law enforcement officials also seized a rifle, two shotguns, and assorted ammunition from a duffel bag in Bullock's garage.
Bullock was charged with two ACCA counts, one for possessing ammunition and the other for possessing firearms after having been convicted of at least three violent felony offenses in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(e). He was convicted on the ACCA count charging possession of ammunition but acquitted on the ACCA count charging possession of firearms. He was also convicted on two counts of possessing with intent to distribute and distributing cocaine base and one count of possessing with intent to distribute cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Bullock was sentenced principally to 188 months' imprisonment on the ACCA count, eight months above the mandatory minimum sentence, and to twelve months and a day on each of the other counts to run concurrently with the sentence on the ACCA count.
Bullock argues that the imposition of a fifteen-year mandatory minimum sentence was error because the ACCA does not count convictions that have "been expunged, or set aside or for which a person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored . . . unless such pardon, expungement, or restoration of civil rights expressly provides that the person may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms." 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20).
Bullock contends that his civil rights had been restored at the time of the present offense because he "had been off parole for 11 years," he "was entitled to vote," and New York State law did not restrict his right to possess ammunition.
The restoration of civil rights involves three components: (1) the right to vote; (2) the right to serve on a jury; and (3) the right hold elective office. See McGrath v. United States, 60 F.3d 1005, 1007 (2d Cir. 1995); see also Logan v. United States, 128 S.Ct. 475, 480 (2007) ("While § 921(a)(20) does not define the term 'civil rights,' courts have held, and petitioner agrees, that the civil rights relevant under the above-quoted provision are the rights to vote, hold office, and serve on a jury."). Bullock's rights to vote and hold office were arguably restored by operation of law. See N.Y. Election Law § 5-106; N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 79. However, his right to serve on a jury was not; he was not pardoned; and none of his prior convictions were expunged. See N.Y. Judiciary Law § 510(3) ("In order to qualify as a juror a person must not . . . [n]ot have been convicted of a felony.").
Accordingly, Bullock cannot establish that his prior convictions are not counted as "crime[s] punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year" as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20).
Bullock contends that he should not be penalized under federal law for conduct (possession of ammunition) that he was free to do under state law. But this is a mere irony. As the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has observed on similar facts, "a federal prosecution for felon in possession of ammunition . . . is in no manner dependent on whether the state in which the crime is committed has enacted a parallel statute criminalizing the same conduct." United States v. Wilson, 437 F.3d 616, 619 (7th Cir. 2006). Obviously, federal law may bar conduct that a state allows. The role of the state "in the federal statutory scheme . . . is limited to the determination of whether the defendant is a convicted felon. Once the felony conviction is established, federal law prohibits the possession of either firearms or ammunition." Id. at 619-20.
Bullock also asserts that because his prior convictions were for crimes committed in the 1970's, imposition of a fifteen-year mandatory minimum sentence in this case does not serve the congressional purpose of the ACCA to punish dangerous recidivists. Congress's intent, however, is irrelevant because the statutory wording at issue is unambiguous.
Bullock challenges the denial of his motion for a judgment of acquittal under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 or a new trial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33.
We "review de novo a district court's denial of a Rule 29 motion, applying the same standard [for] sufficiency [of the evidence] as the district court." United States v. Florez, 447 F.3d 145, 154 (2d Cir. 2006). That standard places a heavy burden on the defendant, whose conviction must be affirmed if "'any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.'" United States v. MacPherson, 424 F.3d 183, 187 (2d Cir. 2005) (quoting Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979)). As to a new trial, Rule 33 allows a district court, upon motion by the defendant, to "vacate any judgment and grant a new trial if the interest of justice so requires." Fed. R. Crim. P. 33(a). But "[w]e will not disturb the district court's findings of fact [on a Rule 33 motion] unless [they are] clearly erroneous, and we will not overturn the district court's decision except for an abuse of discretion." United States v. Locascio, 6 F.3d 924, 949 (2d Cir. 1993).
Bullock argues that there was insufficient evidence to establish his constructive possession of the ammunition found in the bedroom dresser drawer and that the government proved no more than that Bullock and his fiancee shared the bedroom and that Bullock had access to the dresser.
Bullock understates the quantum of evidence, which included: (1) that correspondence addressed to Bullock was found in the drawer with the ammunition; (2) that the ammunition was discovered in a drawer with men's underwear in a dresser with only men's clothing; and (3) that $1,543 cash was found in the drawer, including $30 of pre-recorded buy money given to Bullock a few days earlier. Given this evidence, a "rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." United States v. Hardwick, 523 F.3d 94, 100 (2d Cir. 2008). For the same reason, the district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to grant Bullock's Rule 33 motion.
Bullock asserts that the jury venire in his case did not represent a fair cross-section of the community, in violation of the Sixth Amendment. Bullock objected at trial that none of the 100 jurors on the venire were African-American or members of "any racial minority." On appeal, Bullock reasserts this argument and presents demographic data for two cities (Albany and Binghamton) and one county (Broome County) in the Northern District of New York.
To prevail on his cross-section claim, Bullock must show
(1) that the group alleged to be excluded is a 'distinctive' group in the community;
(2) that the representation of this group in venires from which juries are selected is not fair and reasonable in relation to the number of such persons in the community; and (3) that this under-representation is due to systematic exclusion of the group in the jury-selection process.
Duren v. Missouri, 439 U.S. 357, 364 (1979).
Bullock loses because he has not established any "systematic exclusion." Id.; accord United States v. Joyner, 201 F.3d 61, 75 (2d Cir. 2000) (denying Sixth Amendment cross-section claim because defendant "made absolutely no showing that African Americans were systematically excluded"). To the contrary, Judge McAvoy explained at trial that in constructing the jury pool, the court drew potential jurors from the rolls of voters and drivers. The motor vehicle roll was included specifically "to make sure that [the] jury pool [wa]s balanced." That the district court failed in its attempt to achieve such balance does not detract from the court's demonstrably race-neutral approach to juror selection.
Finally, we reject Bullock's argument that a sentence of fifteen years for possession of eight rounds of ammunition is so disproportionate as to constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. "[T]he Eighth Amendment does not require strict proportionality between crime and sentence, but rather forbids only extreme sentences that are grossly disproportionate to the crime." Harmelin v. Michigan, 501 U.S. 957, 960 (Kennedy, J., plurality opinion); see also United States v. Yousef, 327 F.3d 56, 163 (2d Cir. 2003) ("The Eighth Amendment forbids only extreme sentences that are grossly disproportionate to the crime, and, with the exception of capital punishment cases, successful Eighth Amendment challenges to the proportionality of a sentence have been exceedingly rare." (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)).
Bullock has one prior conviction for robbery in the first degree with intent to cause serious injury and two convictions for robbery in the first degree with the use of a dangerous weapon. In light of this criminal history, the sentence for possession of ammunition cannot be construed as "grossly disproportionate." This Court has approved sentences under the ACCA for offenses similar to Bullock's. See, e.g., United States v. Gamble, 388 F.3d 74, 75-77 (2d Cir. 2004) (per curiam) (affirming sentence of 261 months for defendant arrested for possession of a small quantity of crack cocaine and possession of ammunition clip containing six rounds).
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
