TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's #1 Complaint alleges that venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. 1391(b)(1) and (b)(2) because "[t]he actions complained of took place in this judicial district; evidence and employment records of Defendants relevant to the allegations are maintained in this judicial district."
