In whose space will MySpace litigate?

On April 30, U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis remanded a case against MySpace Inc. that was originally filed in Dallas' 298th District Court. Back on Dec. 6, 2007, parents of 15-year-old "Julie Doe" filed the case in the 298th, after their daughter committed suicide after being sexually assaulted by Kiley Ryan Bowers, a man whom she met and corresponded with through MySpace. In their original petition, the parents allege that Bowers has been convicted of the sexual assault, sentenced to the federal penitentiary and currently is serving his term in Seagoville. In February, Bowers, who is a defendant in the civil case along with MySpace, persuaded 298th District Judge Emily Tobolowsky to send the case to federal court. But Solis ruled that removal was improper. So now it's back in the 298th.
