Carter-beveridge Drilling Co., Inc., Appellant, v. J. Willis Hughes, Appellee
United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit. - 323 F.2d 417
October 16, 1963
Scott Tennyson, Jackson, Miss., Heidelberg, Woodliff & Franks, Jackson, Miss., Lemle & Kelleher, New Orleans, La., of counsel, for appellant.
Thomas R. Crews, Jackson, Miss., Lucius F. Suthon, New Orleans, La., Alexander, Herring & Crews, Jackson, Miss., of counsel, for appellee.
Before RIVES and JONES, Circuit Judges, and DAWKINS, Jr., District Judge.
PER CURIAM.
Contrary to appellant's position, we hold that the venue provisions of 28 U.S. C. § 1391(c) are not applicable to corporations suing as plaintiffs. The effect of the statute is that a corporation may be sued in any judicial district in which it is incorporated or licensed to do business or is doing business, and such defendant corporation is considered a resident of the judicial district for venue purposes. 28 U.S.C.A. § 1391(c); Robert E. Lee & Co., Inc. v. Veatch, 301 F.2d 434 (C.A. 4, 1961), cert. denied 371 U.S. 813, 83 S.Ct. 23, 9 L.Ed.2d 55 (1962).
Affirmed.
