9th Cir.;
15-55611
The court of appeals affirmed a judgment. The court held that the district court did not err in dismissing a complaint on grounds of forum non conveniens.
Ayco Farms, Inc, which was incorporated and headquartered in Florida, entered into a partnership with Guillermo Rodriguez Ochoa, who had both U.S. and Mexican citizenship, and Mexican citizen Jorge Del Toro Chavez to create a new business, Ayco Farms Mexico (AFM). AFM would buy or grow produce, which Ayco would then market and sell worldwide on an exclusive basis. For two years, Ayco marketed AFM's produce to buyers in the U.S. Then the partners started having disputes. Ayco sued Rodriguez and Del Toro in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that Rodriguez and El Toro had breached their exclusivity agreement by diverting produce to other distributors.
