UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
CHRISTIAN DOSCHER,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 8:16-cv-2276-T-33MAP

JAMES PATRICK HOLDING,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On August
8,

2016,

Plaintiff

Christian

Doscher

brought

this

libel

action against Defendant James Patrick Holding. (Doc. # 1).
Doscher’s Complaint alleges that Holding resides in Ocoee,
Florida. (Id. at ¶¶ 5, 7). Because the city of Ocoee is
located in Orange County, Florida, which falls within the
Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida, the Court
entered an Order to show cause why this action should not be
transferred to the Orlando Division pursuant to Local Rule
1.02. Doscher’s response indicates he “does not oppose the
Court’s intent . . . to transfer this action to the Orlando

1 

Division.” (Doc. # 6). Therefore, this action is transferred
to the Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida.1
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
The Clerk is directed to TRANSFER this action to the
Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida. Once
transfer is effected, the Clerk shall CLOSE this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers in Tampa, Florida, this
29th day of August, 2016.

Doscher also “requests that the companion lawsuit Doscher
v. Barnett, Case No. 8:16-cv-02275, be transferred back to
the Orlando Division.” (Doc. # 6 at 1). That case, however,
was assigned to the Honorable James D. Whittemore, United
States District Judge. Furthermore, a review of the docket
sheet in 8:16-cv-2275 indicates the action was transferred to
the Orlando Division by an order dated August 25, 2016.
