William and Julia Roberts, Louisiana residents, were involved in an automobile accident in Missouri, with an uninsured motorist, Kent. The Robertses sustained damage to their vehicle, as well as personal injuries. Their insurance company, State Farm, refused to pay the Robertses anything, asserting that the policy did not provide coverage under the circumstances. The Robertses sued State Farm in the Robertses' home federal court, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, based on the federal court's diversity jurisdiction. State Farm issued the auto insurance policy in question to the Robertses at their home. Agents from a State Farm office in the Eastern District of Louisiana investigated the accident and, after internal deliberations in that office, decided to deny the claim. State Farm argued that the Robertses filed suit in an improper venue and that the proper venue for the lawsuit was either where the accident occurred (Missouri) or where State Farm was incorporated and has its principal place of business (Illinois). On State Farm's motion to dismiss for improper venue under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(3), the federal district court should:A.Grant State Farm's motion to dismiss because a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claim occurred in Missouri.B.Grant State Farm's motion to dismiss because State Farm is a citizen of Illinois.C.Deny State Farm's motion to dismiss because venue is proper.D.Deny the motion to dismiss because the court should always defer to the plaintiffs' choice of forum.E.Deny the motion, but only because of 1391(b)(3).

Robin Hood (Domiciled in Texas and an American citizen) was flying aboard King John Airlines (incorporated and with its principal place of business in the United Kingdom). While flying, a flight attendant stuffed one of the overhead containers too full. While standing up to go to the bathroom, the latch to the overhead container failed and a purse fell out, leading a funnel cake to fall out and get powdered sugar on Robin Hood's $200 blazer. Robin Hood landed and incurred a $30 dry cleaning bill.
