Case No. 4:16CV475 HEA

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on remand from the Eighth Circuit Court of
Appeals. In its September 13, 2017 Order, the Court instructed this court to either
sever the action and transfer the counterclaims, or transfer the entire action. The
Counterclaims were previously transferred to the Western District of Louisiana on
July 28, 2017, Cause Number: 3:17cv972 TAD/JPM. Therefore, this Court must
determine whether to transfer the action to the Western District of Louisiana.
Defendants have filed their Suggestions in Response to the Order from the
Court of Appeals. Plaintiff has not.
The Court agrees with Defendants that transfer of this action to the Western
District of Louisiana is in the best interest of judicial economy.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED this matter is transferred to the United States
District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Cause Number 3:17cv972
TAD/JPM.
Dated this 4th day of April, 2018.
