TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 4/12/2023. Venue for federal civil rights actions is governed by 28 U.S.C. 1391(b). According to that statute, such actions may be brought only in (1) the judicial district where any defendant resides (if all defendants reside in the same State), (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought. It appears that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims in this lawsuit occurred in at Dixon Correctional Center located in Lee County, Illinois, which is situated in the federal judicial district of the Southern District of Illinois. See 28 U.S.C. 93(c). The Court therefore finds that venue over this proceeding is in the Southern District of Illinois, and that it is in the interests of justice that this cause be transferred there. See 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). No summons shall issue in this action unless directed by the transferee court. The Clerk is directed to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.(SAG)
