context: The third and final public interest factor is the local interest in deciding local controversies at home. It is true that Ohio has a local interest in adjudicating this controversy because defendants are headquarter in Ohio and some of the underlying events took place there. See Defs.' Mem. at 18-19. But the Court is not persuaded that these facts warrant transfer because at least some of the events giving rise to plaintiffs claims arose in the District of Columbia, and there is a national interest in the enforcement of federal securities laws.
