March 14, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on March 14, 2019. Plaintiffs have filed a response to the Court's March 6, 2019 Text Order. They explain that they filed this case in the Rock Island Division of the Central District of Illinois because one of the Plaintiffs is based in Geneseo, which is within the Rock Island Division, and telephone calls regarding the patent infringement occurred there. This is not an appropriate basis for divisional venue. Plaintiffs concede, however, that venue is appropriate in the Peoria Division. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to transfer this case to the Peoria Division. (AK, ilcd) [Transferred from Illinois Central on 7/23/2019.]
March 13, 2019 Filing 35 RESPONSE to Motion re #22 MOTION to Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(B)(3), #20 MOTION to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint for Improper Venue Supplement to Plaintiff's Resistance filed by Plaintiff SNI Solutions, Inc.. (Noe, Robert) [Transferred from Illinois Central on 7/23/2019.]
March 6, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sara Darrow on March 6, 2019. Local Rule 40.1 identifies the four divisions of the Central District of Illinois. Which division a case should be filed in depends on the county from which the case arises. As part of the statement of jurisdiction, the initial pleadings in each case must state the basis for filing in the division selected. CDIL-LR 40.1(F). Plaintiffs' #1 Complaint contains no allegations regarding their basis for filing this case in the Rock Island Division. See Compl. paras. 10-16. In #27 #29 responding to Defendants' #20 #22 motions to dismiss, which argue that venue is improper in the Central District of Illinois, Plaintiffs have further specified their bases for venue. As neither Defendant is incorporated in Illinois, venue is proper in this District only if Defendants have "committed acts of infringement" and have "regular and established place[s] of business" in the District. 28 U.S.C. 1400(b). Plaintiffs generally allege that Defendants committed acts of infringement in this District, but specifically allege only that Defendants sold infringing products to State Farm Insurance Company's headquarters and McLean County Asphalt Co., Inc., both of which are located in Bloomington (in McLean County). They also allege that Defendants marketed their products at trade shows in Peoria, Illinois (in Peoria County). Plaintiffs also now allege that both Defendants have established places of business in this District, but they allege that Defendant Univar USA, Inc. has places of business in Peoria, Springfield (in Sangamon County), and Decatur (in Macon County), and that Defendant Road Solutions, Inc. has a place of business in Bloomington. There are no allegations that this case arises out of counties in the Rock Island Division. Therefore, Plaintiffs are ordered to provide justification for filing this case in the Rock Island Division by March 13, 2019. If venue is not proper in this division, they are directed to identify in which division venue would be proper. (AK, ilcd) [Transferred from Illinois Central on 7/23/2019.]
