DALE ROSLYN BROOKS ADC # 709679 PLAINTIFF v. ARKANSAS DIVISION OF CORRECTION, et al. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
JEROME T. KEARNEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Dale Roslyn Brooks (“Plaintiff”') filed a pro se Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against multiple officials at the Ouachita River Unit of the Arkansas Division of Correction (“ADC”). (Doc. No. 2). The Ouachita River Unit of the ADC is in Malvern, Arkansas, which lies in the Western District of Arkansas.
Because of the Defendants named and allegations made, including allegations of failure to protect against unidentified Doe Defendants, the Court finds that the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
“The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought.” Id.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to immediately TRANSFER PLAINTIFF'S ENTIRE CASE FILE to the Western District of Arkansas
IT IS SO ORDERED
