ORDER
The Court finds that the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case to
the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. Venue would be proper in the
Western District, as defendants are located there and the events complained of allegedly occurred
there. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) (“The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue
in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case
to any district or division in which it could have been brought.”).
The Clerk of the Court is directed to immediately transfer plaintiff’s entire case file to the
Western District of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division, John Paul Hammerschmidt Federal Building,
35 East Mountain Street, Suite 510, Fayetteville, AR 72701-5354.
SO ORDERED this 11th day of March, 2015.
