IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK DIVISION

JOHN CHARLES BOSS, JR PLAINTIFF

ADC #162961

V. NO: 4:16CV00353 SWW/PSH

DAVID JOHNSON et al DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff John C. Boss, Jr., 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

Western District of Arkansas. 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 Western District of Arkansas. 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 Western District of Arkansas. 

DATED this 23rd day of June, 2016.
