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 lies in the Western District, as all Defendants are
there and the events complained of allegedly occurred there. 28 U.s.C. §
1406(a).
The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer Henderson's entire case file
to the Western District of Arkansas. The transfer should be immediate; there
is no need to wait a reasonable time, cf In reo Nine Mile Limited, 673 F.2d 242,
243 (8th Cir. 1982), because the receiving Court is also in the Eighth Circuit

and, if he wants to do so, Henderson can challenge the transfer by taking his
appeal from that Court as easily and completely as he could appeal from this
Court.
So Ordered.
