DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Cole filed this pro se § 1983 lawsuit against two Prescott Police
Department employees about events that allegedly occurred in
Nevada County, Arkansas.

NQ 1.

Venue is proper in the Western

District of Arkansas; and the interests of justice would be best served
by transferring this case there. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)(1)-(2) & 1406(a).
This case is therefore transferred to the United States District Court for
the Western District of Arkansas, Texarkana Division. The transfer is
immediate because the receiving Court is in the Eighth Circuit too. Cf
In re Nine Mile Limited, 673 F.2d 242 (8th Cir. 1982).

So Ordered.
