ORDER
Plaintiff Craytonia Latoy Badger has submitted this 42 U.S.C. §1983 case for filing in this
district. However, from the facts alleged and the Defendants named, it appears that venue properly
lies in the Western District of Arkansas. See 28 U.S.C. §1391(b). Accordingly, the Court finds
that the interests of justice would best be served by transferring this case to the United States
District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. 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
United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
So ordered this 1st day of May, 2018.
