MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on the plaintiff’s motion to transfer this matter to
the Middle District of Tennessee [R. 3]. In support of the motion, plaintiff states that
counsel inadvertently and mistakenly filed the complaint in the Eastern District of
Tennessee, Knoxville Division.

The motor vehicle accident at issue took place in

Cumberland County, Tennessee, so the case should properly be before the Middle
District of Tennessee, Northeastern Division. Plaintiff further states that the Clerk has
not issued summons, and defendants have not been served with process.
28 U.S.C. § 1404 permits transfer of a case for the convenience of parties and
witnesses, and in the interest of justice. The district court may transfer any civil action to
any other district or division where it might have been brought or to any district or
division to which all parties have consented. Id.

For the good cause stated by plaintiff, the court finds that this action should be
transferred to the Middle District of Tennessee, Northeastern Division, and the plaintiff’s
motion for transfer [R. 3] is hereby GRANTED.
This matter is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee, Northeastern Division, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
