Philip P. Simon CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

OPINION AND ORDER

Carl Wm. Alexander, a pro se prisoner, filed a complaint against two defendants based on events which occurred at the Putnamville Correctional Facility in Putnamville, Indiana. Putnamville is located within the geographical boundaries of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. It does not appear that this is the proper venue for this case, but pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2), it could have been filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

SO ORDERED.

ENTERED: February 8, 2016
