ELECTRONIC ORDER transferring this case to the Abilene Division of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Under the authority of Miscellaneous Order No. 6, this action is transferred, for the convenience of parties and witnesses and in the interest of justice to the Abilene Division, where the action could have been brought.
