IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION

PHILLIP DEWAYNE STEWART PLAINTIFF ADC #151956

v. No. 4:20-cv-526-DPM

SYLVESTER CALDWELL, Mayor, City of Pine Lawn, Missouri, and E. CRAWFORD, Police Clerk, City of Overland, Missouri DEFENDANTS

ORDER Stewart has submitted his § 1983 complaint for filing in this District; but venue lies in the Eastern District of Missouri. Doc. 2;

(b). The Court finds that the interests of justice would be best served by transferring this case to that District.

(a). Further, there is no need to delay the transfer because both courts are within the Eighth Circuit. In re Nine Mile Limited,

(8th Cir. 1982). The Court therefore directs the Clerk to immediately transfer the entire case file to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. So Ordered.
