ORDER

BRIAN MORRIS, District Judge.

Third Party Defendant City of Billings ("the City") has moved the Court to change venue for trial in this matter from Great Falls to Billings. (Doc. 88.) Plaintiff Exxon Mobil Corporation ("ExxonMobil") filed a response to the motion stating that it has no objection to the Court's ruling that the trial take place in Great Falls. (Doc. 98.)

ExxonMobil's claims against NorthWestern Corporation ("NorthWestern") are based in negligence and contract. (See Doc. 1.) NorthWestern's claims against the City are also based in negligence and contract. (See Doc. 33.) Venue is proper in any division of the court containing a county of proper venue under Montana law. Local Rule 3.2(b). The proper venue for a tort action is either where the defendant resides or the county where the tort was committed. Mont. Code Ann. § 25-2-122(1). The proper venue for a breach of contract claim is either where the defendant resides or the county where the contract was to be performed. Mont. Code Ann. § 25-2-121(1). The proper venue for an action against a political subdivision is in the county in which the claim arose or in any county where the political subdivision is locate. Mont. Code Ann. § 25-2-126(3).

(Doc. 89 at 3-4.)
