IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK DIVISION

FELIX GUZMAN RIVADENEIRA PLAINTIFF

V. 4:15CV00344 JM

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, et al DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff Felix Guzman Rivadeneira, an inmate at the McHenry County Jail in Woodstock,

Illinois, 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 here is improper 28 U.S.C. §1391(b). 

Defendants do not appear to be residents of this district, it does not appear that the events at issue

occurred here, and the Court cannot determine from the complaint which district might be

appropriate. Accordingly, a transfer would not be in the interest of justice, and the Court concludes

that the case should be dismissed. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:

1. The Court dismisses without prejudice Plaintiff's complaint.

2. The Court certifies that an in forma pauperis appeal taken from the Order and

Judgment dismissing this action is considered frivolous and not in good faith. 

DATED this 25th day of May, 2016.
