Prosecutor for State of Arkansas,
Montgomery County Judge
ORDER
PLAINTIFF
DEFENDANTS
Dillard 	submitted 	this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case for filing 	in this
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 also in the Eighth Circuit. 	Compare In re Nine Mile
Limited, 673 F.2d 242, 243 (8th Cir. 1982).
So Ordered.
