IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

PRESTON R. CURNETT,

ADC #165671 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 4:20-CV-40-LPR-BD

SHAQUILLE BROWN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On January 10, 2020, Preston R. Curnett, an Arkansas Department of Correction 

(ADC) inmate, filed this civil rights lawsuit without the help of a lawyer. (Docket entry 

#2) Mr. Curnett claims that Sergeant Brown used excessive force against him at the 

Ouachita River Unit of the ADC and that Sergeant Delaney interfered with his right to 

access the ADC inmate grievance procedure.

The Ouachita River Unit lies in the Western District of Arkansas. The interests of 

justice, therefore, would best be served by transferring this case to the United States 

District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, under 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). To that 

end, the Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this case immediately to the United States 

District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 14th day of January, 2020.
