IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

R. WAYNE JOHNSON PLAINTIFF

V. NO: 4:16CV00557 SWW

U.S. POSTAL SERVICE and DOES 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 Northern

District of Texas. 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 Northern

District of Texas. 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 Northern District of Texas. 

DATED this 15th day of August, 2016.
