TEXT ORDER entered by Magistrate Judge Douglas J. Quivey on 2/9/2026: Before the Court is Plaintiff Holmes' Complaint alleging civil rights violations by the City of Decatur ("Decatur"), located in Macon County, and various Decatur employees. (Doc. 1). Plaintiff is a resident of Decatur and states in her Complaint that venue is proper because all events occurred in Macon County, Illinois. (Doc. 1 p. 2). Because Macon County is within the jurisdiction of the Urbana Division in the Central District of Illinois, proper venue is with the Urbana Division and not the Springfield Division. Accordingly, the Court orders that this case be transferred to the Urbana Division and reassignment made. See Local Rule 40.1(D) ("All complaints and subsequent filings in cases which arise from the following counties: Champaign, Coles, Douglas, Edgar, Ford, Iroquois, Kankakee, Macon, Moultrie, Piatt, and Vermilion will be filed at URBANA, ILLINOIS."Accordingly, this case and the corresponding hearings are reassigned to Judge Colin Stirling Bruce and Magistrate Judge Ronald L Hanna for further proceedings.
