TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin S. Bruce on 9-22-2022. Pro se Plaintiff Shirley Chan, a resident of Chicago, Illinois, filed this Complaint #1 against Defendant Target Corporation, over an injury she received due to Defendant's alleged negligence at its store in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Plaintiff resides in Chicago, which is in the Northern District of Illinois; Defendant is a Minnesota corporation (see George & Company LLC v. Target Corp., 2021 WL 2948910, at *1 (N.D. Ill. July 14, 2021)), with a store located in Hoffman Estates; and the injury at Defendant's store occurred in Hoffman Estates, which is in the Northern District of Illinois. 28 U.S.C. 93(a)(1). There is no connection, at all, to the Central District of Illinois. Plaintiff has filed her suit in the wrong district. A district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought. 28 U.S.C. 1406(a). Although none of the parties have, as of yet, requested a transfer, a court, where venue is improper, may sua sponte transfer the case to a district where venue is proper, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1406(a). Starr Indemnity & Liability Co. v. Luckey Logistics, Inc., 2017 WL 2466505, at *7 n.6 (C.D. Ill. June 7, 2017). The court does so here. Because the Northern District is the situs of events, venue is proper in that district. 28 U.S.C. 1391(b). The court hereby directs the clerk to transfer this matter to the Northern District of Illinois. This case is terminated in the Central District of Illinois. (BMG)
