All right, now we know that Section 1391(b)(1) applies only if all defendants reside in the same state. But venue is not completely based on state residence. As you probably know, federal courts are situated in judicial districts. Every state has at least one judicial district (and, for the most part, federal districts do not overlap into more than one state). But some states, like California, New York, and Texas, to name a few, have more than one district. Look again at 1391(b)(1). In those states that have more than one judicial district, which of the following is true? Venue is proper in any district in which any defendant resides, but only if all defendants reside in the same state. Venue is proper in any district in which any defendant resides, even if the defendants reside in different states. Venue is proper only in a district in which all defendants reside. Venue is proper in any judicial district in the state, if all defendants reside in the state. Venue is proper in any district in the state in which any defendant resides
