CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:17-CV-297

ORDER OF TRANSFER
The plaintiff, David Moore, alleges in this Section 1983 action that one of the two
defendants assaulted him (Dkt. 1 at p. 3). He has sued the other defendant in a
supervisory capacity (Dkt. 1 at p. 3). Although Moore is incarcerated in the Ramsey Unit
of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (“TDCJ”), the incident took place at the
Wynne Unit, and both defendants still work at the Wynne Unit (Dkt. 1 at pp. 3–4; Dkt.
5). The Wynne Unit is located in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas.
The Court will transfer these claims to that division. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 124(b)(2), 1391(b),
1404(a).
The Court ORDERS the District Clerk to TRANSFER this case to the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
The Clerk will send a copy of this order to the parties.
SIGNED at Galveston, Texas, this 24th day of October, 2017.
