OPINION
WILLIAM A. KING, Jr., Bankruptcy Judge.
On October 22, 1979, William M. Vann filed a Chapter 13 Petition in this court. Vann listed his address as Mays Landing, New Jersey, a location not within our District boundaries. The court, sua sponte, raised the issue of whether the venue requirements of 28 U.S.C.A. § 1472 (Supp. 1979) have been met. We conclude that based on that section, venue is not properly laid in this District. However, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 1477 (Supp.1979), 1 and in the interests of justice and for the convenience of the parties, this proceeding shall be retained. 2
