v.
KATINA STUCKEY-SMITH,
November 17, 2022
Defendant.

WIGENTON, District Judge.
Before this Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) entered on October 28,
2022, by Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer (“Judge Hammer”), (D.E. 23), recommending that
this Court transfer this matter to the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Georgia, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, because this Court lacks personal jurisdiction over
Defendant. This Court has reviewed the reasons set forth by Judge Hammer in the R&R, and the
limited objection filed by Defendant, (D.E. 24), in which Defendant notes that Plaintiffs and
Defendant each request that, should this Court determine that the matter is to be transferred, the
matter be transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Based
on the foregoing, and for good cause shown, it is hereby
ORDERED that the R&R of Judge Hammer, (D.E. 23), is ADOPTED as the conclusions
of law of this Court; and
ORDERED that this matter is to be transferred to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia.

SO ORDERED.
