of occurred in Colin County. Colin County lies within the venue of the United States District

This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

Texas. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). Ruling on the motion for a preliminary injunction is deferred

to that district and terminated from this court’s docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
