MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the "Motion to Correct the Record" (Doc. 35), the "Motion Pursuant to Rule 59(e) to Alter or Amend this Court's Ruling of October 26, 2006 [Doc. 33] Based upon CSX' [sic] Perjured Testimony to Effect a Favorable Ruling" (Doc. 36), and the "Motion to Stay Transfer" (Doc. 37) brought by Plaintiff Donald R. Huff. By Order entered October 26, 2006, the Court transferred this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The electronic docket of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana shows that, effective October 30, 2006, the complete file in this case has been transferred to that court. See Huff v. CSX Transp., Inc., No. 2:06-cv-00233-RLY-WGH (S.D. Ind. filed Oct. 30, 2006). "When a motion for transfer under Section 1404(a) of the Judicial Code of the United States has been granted, and the papers lodged with the clerk of the transferee court, it is well settled that the transferor court — and the appellate court that has jurisdiction over it — loses all jurisdiction over the case and may not proceed further with regard to it." 15 Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R.
