1Opinion of the Court
SWITZER, District Judge.
Defendants, as individuals, a partnership and a corporation, all residents of Texas, challenge the venue of the suit here on the ground that the action has been brought in a district not the residence of either (1) the plaintiff, or (2) the defendants or any of them. Other grounds are set out in the motion itself, namely, that the defendants are not subject to the service of process within the Southern District of Iowa, and that the amount in controversy is less than the jurisdictional amount, but argument was. confined to the question of venue alone.
