REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton/File Photo Acquire Licensing Rights Oct 4 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday rejected Google's bid to stop Texas and a group of other states from moving their antitrust lawsuit against the Alphabet (GOOGL.O) unit from New York federal court to Texas. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel said Google had not shown "exceptional circumstances" to overturn an order by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation letting Texas return to the Lone Star state to pursue the case it filed against Google there.
