May 24, 2022 Filing 8 RECEIVED from Illinois Southern; Case Number 3:22-cv-01038 (gcy)
May 20, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE. Plaintiff has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, claiming his constitutional rights were violated at Stateville Correctional Center (Stateville), in Crest Hill, Illinois. Plaintiff is still imprisoned at Stateville. Venue for federal civil rights actions brought under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 is governed by 28 U.S.C. Sec. 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 is subject to the courts personal jurisdiction with respect to the action, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought. Plaintiff names defendants that work at Stateville. All of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs allegations occurred at Stateville, which is situated in the federal judicial district for the Northern District of Illinois. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 93(a). Plaintiff's claims have no connection to the Southern District. The Court therefore finds that the Northern District is the appropriate forum for the hearing and determination of this civil rights action. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1406(a), and on the Court's own motion, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, for a determination as to whether Plaintiff should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915, and such further proceedings as that court may deem appropriate. No summons shall issue in this action unless so directed by the transferee court. Signed by Judge David W. Dugan on 5/20/2022. (kgk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. [Transferred from Illinois Southern on 5/24/2022.]
