American Boxing & Athletic Association, Inc. v. Young

On a weekend in June 2003 Sarasotas Robards Arena hosted a "Toughman" contest, in which amateur combatants faced off in a boxing ring. Stacy Young, a first-time fighter, died from injuries suffered in her bout. Mrs. Youngs husband and personal representative, Robert Young, sued several defendants to recover for her death. Among them were a Michigan resident named Arthur Dore and two Michigan corporations, American Boxing & Athletic Association, Inc., and Adoreable Promotions, Inc. In this appeal, American and Adoreable challenge the circuit courts non-final order denying their motions to change venue. We affirm.
