ORDER

Before the court is Plaintiff Pennsylvania National Insurance Company’s (“Penn 

National”) Motion to Transfer Venue. Doc. 23. On November 23, 2015, the court 

ordered Defendants James Munford and Jeffrey Easy to show cause, in writing, as to why 

the venue of this matter should not be transferred to the Eastern Division of the Middle 

District of Alabama, as requested by Penn National in its motion. See Doc. 24. Neither 

Defendant responded to the court’s show cause order. Having received no objection from 

either Defendant, and after careful consideration of Penn National’s motion, the court 

finds that venue for this action is proper in the Eastern Division of the Middle District of 

Alabama.1 Therefore, it is ORDERED that Penn National’s motion (Doc. 23) is 

GRANTED, and this case is TRANSFERRED to the Eastern Division of the Middle 

 1 “[A] district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been 

brought or to any district or division to which all parties have consented.” 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
