A lawsuit against Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback http://www.lionsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Calvin-Johnson-Jersey Jameis Winston will not be moved from Orlando, Florida, to Tallahassee, Florida, as representatives for the first pick of the 2015 draft requested.
The ruling was made on Thursday by U.S. District Court Judge Anne C. Conway in regards to the civil suit brought by Erica Kinsman, who accused Winston of rape in 2012 while the football player attended Florida State.
Winston was investigated by Tallahassee and Florida State police in the case, but he wasn't charged with a crime.
Kinsman filed the lawsuit in state court Corey Wootton Kids Jersey in Orlando in April. According to court documents, she accused Winston of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress arising out of forcible rape.
A resident of Alabama at the time, Winston sought a motion to transfer the case to U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Tallahassee.
Judge Conway ruled that because both parties lived in Central Florida there was no reason to move the case to Tallahassee. The judge also ruled it would be less convenient for witnesses to hold the civil trial in Tallahassee.
Late Thursday afternoon, Winston tweeted a picture http://www.lionsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Dan-Orlovsky-Jersey of him working out with Tampa Bay wide receivers Mike Evans and Louis Murphy, a seven-year veteran out of Florida.
Winston showed the same kind of work ethic during offseason workouts. He took double repetitions during one practice to make up the time he missed attending the NFLPA Rookie Premier event in Los Angeles.
He's was so dedicated putting in extra time in May that coach Lovie Smith told ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas "we have to tell him when to leave."
