(Bankr. S.D. Ind. July 29, 2016)
The bankruptcy court denies the debtor's motion to transfer venue of his chapter 7 bankruptcy case from the Terra Haute Division to the Evansville Division. The debtor failed to satisfy the standard set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1412 for venue transfer. The debtor's travel time to each court location was virtually the same, and thus Evansville was no more convenient than Terra Haute. Further, there was no showing that the interests of justice would be better served by the transfer. Opinion below.
Judge: Graham
Attorney for Debtor: M. Brian Jeffries
