IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK DIVISION

EDWARD ARNEILL HARPER PLAINTIFF

ADC #121420

V. NO: 4:10CV00198 SWW/HDY

BLUE et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff has submitted this 42 U.S.C. §1983 case for filing in this district. However, from

the facts alleged and the Defendants named, it appears that venue properly lies in the Western

District of Arkansas. 28 U.S.C. §1391(b). Accordingly, the Court finds that the interests of justice

would best be served by transferring this case to the United States District Court for the Western

District of Arkansas. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT the Clerk of the Court is directed to

IMMEDIATELY TRANSFER PLAINTIFF’S ENTIRE CASE FILE to the United States District

Court for the Western District of Arkansas. 

DATED this 6th day of May, 2010.
