IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HELENA DIVISION

DONALD RAY TERRY PLAINTIFF

REG. #12032-042

V. 2:07CV00125 WRW

BRANDON HODGES et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff 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 Northern

District of Mississippi. 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 Mississippi. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT the Clerk of the Court is directed to immediately

TRANSFER PLAINTIFF’S ENTIRE CASE FILE to the Northern District of Mississippi.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 12th day of October, 2007.
