ORDER REASSIGNING CASE. This matter is before the Court sua sponte for case management purposes. This case is related to another case presently before Chief Judge Rosenstengel (See SDIL case number 21-cv-00021-NJR) The Seventh Circuit has emphasized that related cases filed within the same court should be transferred to (or consolidated before) a single judge in order to promote judicial economy and efficiency and avoid the unnecessary duplication of efforts.

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to REASSIGN this case to Chief Judge Rosenstengel. All future documents filed in this matter shall bear the case number 21-cv-00122-NJR. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 2/5/2021. (spl)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
