O R D E R

This cause is before the Court on Defendant's Motion to Change Venue (Doc. #5) filed

on August 25, 2006. In her Complaint (Doc. # 1), Plaintiff alleged unlawful employment

practices in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 2000 and brought this action in the United States District

Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Defendant argues that because the alleged

unlawful employment practices occurred in Selma, Alabama, which is in the Southern District

of Alabama, Northern Division, this case should be transferred for the convenience of the

parties and witnesses.

Although venue is proper in this district, a district court may, for the convenience of 1

parties and witnesses, "transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might

have been brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).

Given that the Southern District of Alabama is where all the relevant events took place,

where all the parties reside, and where most of the witnesses are located, and further in light

of the fact that the motion is unopposed by Plaintiff, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: 

1. The Motion to Change Venue (Doc. # 5) is GRANTED.

2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to TRANSFER this case in its entirety to the

United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, Northern Division. 

DONE this 9th day of November, 2006.
