ORDER
DEFENDANT
Baltrusch submitted this 	42 U.S.C. 	§ 	1983 	case 	for 	filing 	in 	this
district. 	His 	claims, 	however, 	rise 	from 	an 	allegation 	that he 	was
wrongly 	terminated 	by 	Simmons 	when he 	was 	employed 	at 	its 	plant 	in
Gentry, Arkansas. 	Doc. 	2. 	From 	the facts that Baltrusch 	alleged 	and the
defendant that he 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).
