May 15, 2019 Opinion or Order STRICKEN PURSUANT TO TEXT ORDER ENTERED ON 5/15/2019. TEXT ORDER: The Plaintiff's Complaint #1 alleges that venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. 1391(b)(1) "because this is the judicial district within which Defendant resides." Local Rule 40.1 provides the divisions of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois in which complaints and subsequent filings will be filed. See Local Rule 40.1(A)-(D). The Complaint also alleges that: Defendant Deere's principal place of business is in Moline, Illinois (Rock Island County); Plaintiff's insured Dawson operated a business in Decatur, Illinois (Macon County); and the fire that caused damage to the Tractor occurred in Clarksdale, Illinois (Christian County). Those three places are located in three different divisions of the Central District of Illinois, and none of them are located in the Peoria Division. The Complaint does not state, as part of the statement of jurisdiction, the basis for filing in the Peoria Division. See Local Rule 40.1(F). In light of this, the Plaintiff is ordered to show cause in writing, by 5/22/2019, why this case should not be transferred to one of those three other divisions. It is the Plaintiff's responsibility to identify the correct division in accordance with Local Rule 40.1. Entered by Magistrate Judge Jonathan E. Hawley on 5/15/2019. (KZ, ilcd) Modified on 5/15/2019 (JS, ilcd).

See Local Rule 40.1(C) ("All complaints and subsequent filings in cases which arise from the following counties:... Rock Island... will be filed at ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS"). Additionally, Judge Michael Mihm disqualifies and recuses himself from participation in this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(2). According to the instructions of Chief Judge Sara Darrow, this matter is reassigned to Judge Darrow for further proceedings. The Clerk is DIRECTED to reassign this case to Judge Darrow.
