This morning the Federal Circuit released one nonprecedential order. The order denies a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to order the Eastern District of Texas to dismiss a case for improper venue. Here is the introduction to the order.
In re Charter Communications, Inc. (Nonprecedential Order)
Petitioners seek a writ of mandamus directing the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to dismiss this case for improper venue as to Charter Communications, Inc. (“CCI”) and Charter Communications Operating LLC (“CCO”). Specifically, they argue that the district court improperly imputed to CCI and CCO the in-district location and business of CCI’s subsidiary, Spectrum Gulf Coast, LLC, by erroneously focusing on whether the Charter entities operate as a single enterprise.
