Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Contrary to appellant’s position, we hold that the venue provisions of 28 U.S. C. § 1391(c) are not applicable to corporations suing as plaintiffs. The effect of the statute is that a corporation may be sued in any judicial district in which it is incorporated or licensed to do business or is doing business, and such defendant corporation is considered a resident of the judicial district for venue purposes. 28 U.S.C.A. § 1391(c); Robert E. Lee & Co., Inc. v. Veatch, 301 F.2d 434 (C.A. 4, 1961), cert. denied 371 U.S. 813, 83 5. Ct. 23, 9 L.Ed.2d 55 (1962).
