IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

JIMMY DON STEVENS PLAINTIFF

ADC #116528

v. Case No. 4:15-cv-00018-KGB-JTK

D. CHAD MORGAN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court finds that the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case to

the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. Venue would be proper in the

Western District, as defendants are located there and the events complained of allegedly occurred

there. 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.”).

The Clerk of the Court is directed to immediately transfer plaintiff’s entire case file to the

Western District of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division, John Paul Hammerschmidt Federal Building,

35 East Mountain Street, Suite 510, Fayetteville, AR 72701-5354.

SO ORDERED this 11th day of March, 2015.
