Mealey's (October 17, 2016, 2:07 PM EDT) -- BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An Alabama federal magistrate judge on Oct. 14 denied a defendants’ motion to dismiss a libel complaint filed by an urgent care franchisor for lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue, finding that venue is proper in the Northern District of Alabama because it is a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claim occurred (AFC Franchising LLC, et al. v. Practice Velocity LLC, et al., No. 2:215-cv-02150, N.D. Ala., Southern Div.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 142439)....
