July 11, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TEXT ONLY ORDER: Plaintiff filed a complaint in Cook County, Illinois, alleging that, due to Defendant's negligence, he suffered injury at a store in East Peoria, Illinois. Defendant, citing 28 U.S.C. 1391, subsequently removed the matter to Federal Court in the Central District of Illinois. "Venue in an action removed from state court to federal court is governed by the removal statute, 28 U.S.C. 1441, not by the general venue statute, 28 U.S.C. 1391." Allied Van Lines, Inc. v. Aaron Transfer & Storage, Inc., 200 F. Supp. 2d 941, 945 (N.D. Ill. 2002). Under 1441, the proper venue of a removed action is "in the district court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where such action is pending." 28 U.S.C. 1441(a). Id. at 945-46. As this case was pending in Cook County, proper venue is in the Northern District of Illinois. The Court realizes that the Central District is likely a more convenient forum as contemplated under 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). However, this must be left for another day as the action originally filed within the confines of the Northern District, was not rightly be removed to the Central District. Accordingly, this action is transferred to the Federal Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 07112022.
