Missouri Court of Appeals February 5, 2002, ED 80150 (State Ex Rel. Etter, Inc. v. Neill)

LAWRENCE E. MOONEY, Presiding Judge.

Relator, Etter, Inc., filed a petition for a writ of prohibition to require respondent to transfer venue. We issued a preliminary order. Because we find no grounds for St. Louis City venue based merely on the residence of a defendant ad litem and no waiver of venue, the preliminary order in prohibition is made absolute, thus requiring transfer.
