Atlantic Marine Construction Co. v. United States District Court
''Atlantic Marine Construction Co., Inc. v. United States District Court for the Western District of Texas'', ___ U.S. ___ (2013), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court dealing with the enforcement of forum selection clauses.
==Background==
Petitioner, a corporate citizen of Virginia, entered into a contract to build a child development center in Fort Hood, Texas. The Petitioner then entered into a subcontract with a Texas corporation for work on the project. The contract specified that any litigation resulting from the contract would be brought in state court in Norfolk, Virginia or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. When a dispute arose under the contract, the Texas corporation filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, invoking that court's diversity jurisdiction. The Petitioner moved to dismiss the suit on the grounds that venue was "wrong" under 28 U.S.C. 1406(a) and "improper" under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(3), citing the contract's forum selection clause. In the alternative, the Petitioner sought transfer to the Eastern District of Virginia under 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). The district court denied both motions. On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit refused to grant a writ of mandamus directing the district court to grant either motion.
