IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION FRELANDRA WOMACK ADC #712971 PLAINTIFF No. 4:26-cv-390-DPM TERESA HOWELL, Prosecuting Attorney, Hot Spring County; JARED DAVIS, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Hot Spring County; GREGORY CRAIN, Public Defender; HOT SPRING COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT; and DOE, Jail Administrator, Hot Spring County DEFENDANTS ORDER Womack submitted this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case for filing in this district. From the facts that she alleged and the defendants that she named, venue properly lies in the District Court for 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.
