UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION

JAMES COLE PLAINTIFF 

ADC #156088 

V. No. 4:20CV00022-BRW-JTR 

 

NEVADA COUNTY JAIL DEFENDANT 

TRANSFER ORDER 

Plaintiff James Cole (“Cole”) has filed a pro se § 1983 Complaint alleging 

that unidentified individuals at the Nevada County Jail, where he is incarcerated, are 

violating his constitutional rights. Doc. 2. 

In a case that is not based on diversity jurisdiction, venue is proper in the 

judicial district where “any defendant resides” or “a substantial part of the events or 

omissions giving rise to the claim occurred.” 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The events giving 

rise to Cole’s claims occurred in Nevada County in Prescott, Arkansas, and the only 

named Defendant (the Nevada County Jail) also is located in that county. Nevada 

County is in the Western District of Arkansas. The interest of justice will best be 

served by transferring the case to that District. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT the Clerk should IMMEDIATELY 

TRANSFER this case to the United States District Court for the Western District of 

Arkansas.
