1Opinion of the Court
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we consider, inter alia, the proper venue for a suit to enjoin an arbitration. Under the circumstances presented by this case, we conclude that the Federal Arbitration Act does not require venue in the contractually-designated arbitration locale.

Textile Unlimited, Inc. (“Textile”) claims that A..BMH and Company, Inc. (“A..BMH”) is, in the parlance of the industry, spinning a yarn by contending that the two companies had agreed to settle contract disputes by binding arbitration in Georgia. A..BMH counters that Textile is warping the facts.
