Therefore, venue is proper in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, and the Court orders the case transferred back to that district. For the foregoing reasons, the Clerk of the Court is ordered to transfer the case to the United States Court for the Western District of New York. SO ORDERED. (Ordered by Judge Allyne R.
