ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a prisoner at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky (FMC

Lexington), has filed a pro se complaint for damages under Bivens v. Six Unknown

Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), alleging he did not receive proper

instruction from a licensed teacher at the Federal Correctional Institution in Forrest City,

Arkansas (FCI Forrest City) or at FMC Lexington. 

A substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred,

and the viable individual defendants reside, in Saint Francis County, Arkansas or

Fayette County, Kentucky, which lie within the venue of the Eastern District of

Arkansas, Eastern Division and the Eastern District of Kentucky. See 28 U.S.C. §§

83(a)(1), 97(a). Venue therefore properly lies in the Eastern District of Arkansas,

Eastern Division and/or in the Eastern District of Kentucky. See id. § 1391(b).
