IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

LESLIE DWIGHT COFFEY PETITIONER

v. Case No. 3:14-cv-00306 KGB/HDY

STATE OF GEORGIA, et al. RESPONDENTS

ORDER

Petitioner Leslie Dwight Coffey has submitted this case for filing in this district. However,

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

District of Georgia. 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 Georgia. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

It is therefore ordered that the Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer immediately Mr.

Coffey’s entire case file to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. 

SO ORDERED this the 13th day of January, 2015.
