| Filing 26 STIPULATION regarding complaint, #1 Extending Time to Answer or Otherwise Plead to the Complaint (Dlatt, Bradley) |
| Filing 25 ANSWER to Complaint for Declaratory Action and Affirmative Defenses by LG Construction Group, LLC(Goodman, David) |
| Filing 24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The defendant's motion to reassign cases based on relatedness #14 is granted. The conditions for reassignment have been met: (1) case numbers 24-cv-00480 and 24-cv-00511 are both pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois; (2) reassignment will likely result in a substantial saving of judicial time and effort; (3) reassignment will not cause delay in either case; and (4) reassignment will allow disposition of both cases in a single proceeding. Both cases seek a declaratory judgment concerning whether Westfield Insurance Company must defend or indemnify LG Construction Group LLC in connection with a construction project. Therefore, the cases grow out of the same transaction or occurrence and involve the same issues of fact and law. Accordingly, I find the cases are related within the meaning of Local Rule 40.4 and that the higher-numbered case should be reassigned to me. Mailed notice (vcf, ) |
