CIVIL ACTION NO.
13-AR-1458-S

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
The complaint filed in the above-entitled case on August 7,
2013, alleged that plaintiffs are residents of St. Clair County,
Alabama, and that defendant is likewise a resident of St. Clair
County, Alabama.

Paragraph 5 of the complaint, entitled “VENUE”,

alleged as follows:
The events which give rise to this lawsuit all occurred
in St. Clair County, Alabama, where plaintiff, Oscar
Colvin, was employed with defendant through January 22,
2012.
The complaint was erroneously headed as follows:
In the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Alabama
Northern Division
The heading should have read “In the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama, Middle Division”.

For

reasons unknown to the court, the Clerk mistakenly filed the case
as a Southern Division case and randomly assigned it to the
undersigned who handles Southern Division cases but not Middle
Division cases.

The Clerk is hereby INSTRUCTED to randomly reassign the case
to the Middle Division and to a judge of this court who is assigned
to the Middle Division.
DONE this 3rd day of January, 2014.
