ORDER

Plaintiff filed this case in the Dublin Division even though all of the named

defendants are located in Calhoun County, Georgia, and the events in Plaintiffs complaint

allegedly occurred in Calhoun County. (See doc. no. I.) Because Calhoun County is in the
Middle District of Georgia, the proper venue is the Albany Division of the Middle District of
Georgia. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

In the interest of justice, instead of dismissing this action, the Court ORDERS it
TRANSFERRED to the Middle District of Georgia, Albany Division. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

The Court also DIRECTS the Clpk-ttTtofW^ the file to that District.
SO ORDERED this
