TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin S. Bruce on 3/1/2024. Pro se Plaintiff Ronald Evans, a resident of Chicago, Illinois, filed this Complaint #1 against Defendants LVNV Financial and FB/T Mercury, over the collection of a debt formerly owed by Plaintiff to the Defendant creditors. Plaintiff resides in Chicago, which is in the Northern District of Illinois; Defendant LVNV is based in Baltimore, Maryland and Defendant FB/T is based on Philadelphia Pennsylvania; and, based on Plaintiffs pleading and attached Exhibit (#1-1), the actions at issue in the Complaint, such as payments on the debt and attempts to collect the debt, occurred in Chicago, Illinois, 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 his 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. (ED) Modified on 3/1/24 (ED).
