ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on its own Motion to Transfer Venue. Review of the
Complaint reveals that plaintiffs, residents of Johnston County, North Carolina (Complaint at ¶¶
1-2), intended to file this matter in the Eastern District of North Carolina, see Complaint at ¶ 34,
but inadvertently filed it in the Western District of North Carolina rather than the Western Division
of the Eastern District. See Complaint (header reference to “Western District” rather than Western
Division). Rather than dismiss this action and require plaintiffs to refile it in the Eastern District
(and again pay the filing fee), the Court has determined that a transfer to the Eastern District is
both appropriate and equitable.
ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that this action is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern
District of North Carolina for further proceedings and disposition.

Signed: December 29, 2016
