OPINION ON DISMISSAL

HUGHES, District Judge.

1. Introduction.

A shipper is suing its carriers to recover for non-delivery of photographic film. This court will not exercise jurisdiction over the claim because the parties' contract expressly designates either a Mexican or Brazilian court to hear the contract dispute. The case would also be dismissed because public and private interests mandate a more convenient forum.
