OPINION AND ORDER OF TRANSFER
Plaintiff Chloe Vernell Evans, appearing pro se, has filed this prisoner civil rights
action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is a pretrial detainee at the Limestone County
Sheriff’s Office in Groesbeck, Texas. Plaintiff complains in this action about certain
Limestone Sheriff’s Office policies and Limestone County personnel conspiring to violate
her First, Fourth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. (D.E. 1).
A civil action wherein jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity of citizenship
may be brought in (1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside
in the same state, or (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or
omissions giving rise to the claim occurred. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). In addition, for the
convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice, a district court may
transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought.
28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).

A civil action wherein jurisdiction is not founded solely on diversity of citizenship
may be brought in (1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside
in the same state, or (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or
omissions giving rise to the claim occurred. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). In addition, for the
convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice, a district court may
transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought.
28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
Most of the events forming the basis of Plaintiff’s complaint occurred at the
Limestone County Sheriff’s Office, which is located in Limestone County, Texas. Plaintiff
primarily seeks to hold Limestone County officials responsible for the alleged
unconstitutional policies impacting her. None of the named defendants reside in the
Corpus Christi Division of the Southern District of Texas. Overall, there is no nexus to the
Corpus Christi Division. Because the Limestone Sheriff’s Office is located within the
Waco Division of the Western District of Texas, the interests of justice would be served by
a transfer to that court. See 28 U.S.C. § 124(d)(2).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that this case including, all pleadings and motions
filed therein, be transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of
Texas, Waco Division. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case in this division.
