IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

KRISTIN LIN BAYLER PLAINTIFF 

ADC #161047 

v. Case No: 2:24-cv-00040 JM-PSH 

WELLPATH LLC, et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER

 Plaintiff has submitted this case for filing in this district. However, from the facts alleged 

and the Defendants described, it appears that venue properly lies in the Western District of 

Arkansas. See 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. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) (“The district court of a district in which is filed a case 

laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, 

transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought.”). 

 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 1st day of March, 2024.
