October 23, 2023 Filing 16 Case transferred in from District of Illinois Southern; Case Number 3:23-cv-03203. .
October 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER GRANTING #11 Motion to Transfer Case. This case arises out of a slip and fall at the Dollar General store in Staunton, Illinois. Plaintiff filed suit in state court in Macoupin County, Illinois (Doc. 1-2), and Defendant removed the case to this Court. The day after it was removed, Defendant filed the instant motion to transfer, stating that it inadvertently filed the notice of removal in the Southern District of Illinois when it should have been filed in the Central District of Illinois (Doc. 11). Plaintiff did not file a response within her 14-day window for doing so, see SDIL-LR 7.1(c), (g), which the Court takes to mean that Plaintiff has no objection to a transfer. Macoupin County is indeed within the Central District of Illinois. And the removal statute requires removal to the district court for the district and division "embracing the place" where the state court action is pending. 28 U.S.C. sec. 1441(a); 1446(a). This case is therefore TRANSFERRED to the Central District of Illinois, Springfield Division, where it should have been removed in the first instance. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 10/20/2023. (klh2)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
