The following excerpt is from Petersen v. Boeing Co., D.C. No. 2:10-cv-00999-ROS, No. 11-18075 (9th Cir. 2013):
We review a district court's decision to enforce a forum selection clause under Rule 12(b)(3) for abuse of discretion.1 Murphy v. Schneider Nat'l, Inc., 362 F.3d 1133, 1137 (9th Cir. 2004) (as amended). In doing so, however, we "must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the non-moving party and resolve all factual conflicts in favor of the non-moving party." Id. at 1138. The non-moving party's pleadings need not be accepted as true, however, and we may consider facts outside the pleadings. Id. at 1137.
