IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

CLESTER BILLS PLAINTIFF

V. NO: 4:16CV00192 SWW

STATE OF OKLAHOMA DEFENDANT

ORDER

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

the facts alleged and the Defendant named, it appears that venue properly lies in the Northern

District of Oklahoma. 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

Northern District of Oklahoma. 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 Northern District of Oklahoma. 

DATED this 29th day of April, 2016.
