ADA claims are subject to special venue provisions, which, as relevant here, allow for “an action [to be] brought in any judicial district in the State in which the unlawful employment practice is alleged to have been committed” or “in the judicial district in which the aggrieved person would have worked but for the alleged unlawful employment practice.”

Hakeem v. Mayorkas · filed 2024-05-23(f)(3)

Finally, the plaintiff cannot rely on Title VII’s residual venue provision to establish venue in the District of Columbia. ... As the Court’s analysis of Title VII’s first three venue provisions reveals, see supra Sections III.A.1–3, the plaintiff could properly assert venue in other judicial districts, including the Eastern District of Virginia. Thus, the Court need not analyze whether the District of Columbia is a proper venue under the residual provision.

Section 2000e-5(f)(3) governs venue for ADA actions and directs them to a district connected to the alleged discrimination, relevant records, or the defendant’s principal location.

Rollins v. Greene-Campbell · filed 2024-05-24(f)(3)

“Title VII's venueprovision ‘limit[s] venue to the judicial district concerned with the alleged discrimination,’” Id. (quoting Stebbins v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 413 F.2d 1100, 1102 (D.C. Cir. 1969)), and therefore, such an action must be brought in the judicial district in which the unlawful practice is alleged to have been committed, where the records relevant to such practice are maintained and administered, or in the judicial district in which the defendant is principally located, see 42 U.S.C.§ 2000e–5(f)(3). Here, the wrongdoing was allegedly committed in Tennessee, the defendant also appears to be located there, and as pleaded, this action bears no connection to this District.

Although Perdido argues that this action was filed in the wrong venue, Perdido concedes that “but for the alleged unlawful employment practice Plaintiff . . . would have worked in both the Southern District of Alabama and the Southern District of Mississippi.” [11], p. 3. This satisfies the third way that venue can be shown under the Title VII venue provision. So venue is proper in the Southern District of Mississippi under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(3) and Perdido’s Motion is denied on this ground.
