ORDER
CALLIE V.S. GRANADE, Senior District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on the Motion for Trial in the Northern Division filed by Defendant Durwood McCalpin (Doc. 23), and joined by Defendant Demondre Laporter Pernell (Doc. 26), and the Government's response in objection thereto (Doc. 25).
Rule 18 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure addresses the place of trial. The sets forth certain factors, which the Court may consider, as follows:
Unless a statute or these rules permit otherwise, the government must prosecute an offense in a district where the offense was committed. The court must set the place of trial within the district with due regard for the convenience of the defendant, any victim, and the witnesses, and the prompt administration of justice.
Fed.R.Crim. P. 18
Because the offense was committed in the Northern Division and the witnesses are from the Northern Division, the Court finds that the Defendant's motion is due to be GRANTED.
Chief District Judge Kristi K. DuBose will be selecting a jury in the Northern Division on January 22, 2018, and has agreed to select the jury and try this case in the Northern Division; therefore, jury selection of this matter is scheduled for January 22, 2018 to be held in the Northern Division, Selma, Alabama before Chief District Judge Kristi K. DuBose. The specific date of trial will be determined at a later time by Judge DuBose.
