October 24, 2025 Filing 3 RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Richard Eugene Moore AND CONSENT TO TRANSFER. (Uribe, Elizabeth)
October 24, 2025 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER: On October 23, 2025, Defendant filed a #1 notice of removal, seeking to remove Plaintiffs' state court action to this Court. In that notice, Defendant asserts that venue is proper in this Court because the "alleged accident occurred in Henry County, which lies in the Central District of Illinois." But the proper venue for removed actions is not the district in which the incident occurred. Instead, a state court action must be removed "to the district court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where such action is pending." 28 U.S.C. 1441(a). As the #1 notice of removal indicates, the underlying state court action was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. (Doc. 1 - 1 at 1.) The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois would therefore be the district "embracing the place where such action is pending." See About the Court, U.S. Dist. Ct. N. Dist. of Ill., https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov (last visited Oct. 24, 2025). Accordingly, Defendant is required to SHOW CAUSE in writing why this case should not be transferred to the Northern District. Defendant's response must be filed by or on October 31, 2025. Entered by Magistrate Judge Ronald L Hanna on 10/24/2025. (NL)
