SCOTT LEROY RHEAM ADC # 149727 PLAINTIFF v. CHRIS WILLIAMS Circuit Judge, Hot Springs County, et al. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Although plaintiff Scott Rheam filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case in this district, it appears from the allegations contained in the complaint [Doc. No. 1] that venue properly lies in the Western District of Arkansas, Hot Springs Division. Accordingly, the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e).
The clerk is directed to immediately transfer a copy of this order and the original file herein to the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of December 2011.
