ORDER 
Plaintiffs Green Country Outlet, Inc. and Inhofe Land and Cattle, Inc. initiated this 
action in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, against Defendant 
Covington Specialty Insurance Co., wh o removed the case to this Court on January 20, 
2026, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332 and 1441. See Notice of Removal (Doc. No. 1). 
 Upon a review of the case record , the Court found that transfer of this action may 
be warranted because the claims arise from, and the parties are connected to, Muskogee 
County, Oklahoma. See Am. Pet. (Doc. No. 1 -8); Order to Show Cause (Doc. No. 19). 
Muskogee County lies within the territorial jurisdiction of the Eastern District of 
Oklahoma. 28 U.S.C. § 116(b). It therefore appeared “that jurisdiction and ven ue would 
be proper in the Eastern District ” and that “transfer to the District Court for the Eastern 
District of Oklahoma, which is located in Muskog ee, Oklahoma, would be ‘convenient,’ 
‘fair,’ and ‘in the interest of justice. ’” Order to Show Cause at 4 ( alterations omitted) 

 2 
(quoting 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a); Chrysler Credit Corp. v. Country Chrysler, Inc. , 928 F.2d 
1509, 1516 (10th Cir. 1991)). 
The Court ordered any party who objected to such a transfer to show cause in 
writing no later than May 12, 2026, why transfer should not be ordered. See id. The 
parties were advised that absent showing of such cause, this action was subject to transfer 
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). See id. 
 As of this date, no party has responded to the Order to Show Cause or sought 
additional time to do so. 
CONCLUSION 
Having reviewed the relevant record, the Court finds that venue properly lies in 
the Eastern District of Oklahoma and that transfer is in the interest of justice . See 28 
U.S.C. § 1404(a). The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to transfer this case to the United 
States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. 
 IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of June, 2026.
