KEVIN O’NEAL MEREDITH #139383 PLAINTIFF v. No. 4:22-cv-1075-DPM

GURON, Officer, Hot Spring County Sheriff’s Office and CHANEY, Deputy, Hot Spring County Sheriff’s Office DEFENDANTS

ORDER Meredith submitted this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case for filing in this judicial district. From the facts alleged and the Defendants named, venue properly lies in the Western District of Arkansas. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The Court finds that the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). The Court directs the Clerk to transfer the entire case file to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The transfer is immediate because the receiving Court is in the Eighth Circuit too. Cf. In re Nine Mile Limited, 673 F.2d 242 (8th Cir. 1982). So Ordered.
