PLAINTIFF CASE NO. 4:17-CV-12 JM/BD BOONE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT and MIKE MOORE DEFENDANTS ORDER On January 6, 2017, Robert Thomas Reed, an inmate in the Boone County Jail (“Jail”), filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, purportedly on behalf of himself and Carrie Rae Etheridge.

The Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this case immediately to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Harrison Division, John Paul Hammerschmidt Federal Building, 35 East Mountain Street, Room 510, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701.
