ORDER

T H I S MATTER is before the court on preliminary review. First, this action h a s been transferred to the wrong division. While initially misfiled in the Charlotte D iv is io n , this action was improperly transferred to the Asheville Division. Review o f the Complaint reveals that defendants' places of business are in the Bryson City D iv is io n and that this action concerns properties and events that allegedly took place in such division, to wit, Cherokee County. Next, review of the Complaint reveals that tw o attorneys have signed the Complaint, and thus made an appearance, who are not m e m b e rs of the Bar of this court and who have not moved through local counsel for a d m is s io n pro hac vice.
